STD
8 markers in this category
Chlamydia (PCR)
The Chlamydia PCR test detects the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis, providing a highly accurate method for diagnosing an active infection. It is considered the gold standard for chlamydia diagnosis due to its sensitivity and specificity.
Chlamydia IgG
The Chlamydia IgG antibody test detects antibodies produced in response to a past Chlamydia trachomatis infection. A positive result indicates prior exposure but cannot distinguish between an active and a previously cleared infection.
Gonorrhea (PCR)
The Gonorrhea PCR test detects the DNA of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium responsible for gonorrhea. This nucleic acid amplification test provides highly accurate results for diagnosing an active infection.
HIV 1/2 Antibody + p24 Antigen
The HIV Combo test is a fourth-generation test that detects both HIV p24 antigen and HIV antibodies simultaneously. This dual approach enables earlier detection compared to antibody-only tests, typically within two to six weeks after exposure.
Hepatitis B Core Antibody
A Hepatitis B Core Antibody (anti-HBc) test detects antibodies produced in response to the core antigen of the hepatitis B virus. A positive result may indicate a current, past, or resolved hepatitis B infection and should be interpreted alongside other hepatitis B markers.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
A Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test detects the presence of HBsAg in your blood, which is one of the earliest indicators of a hepatitis B infection. A positive result may indicate an active hepatitis B infection and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Hepatitis C Antibody
A Hepatitis C Antibody (anti-HCV) test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the hepatitis C virus. A positive result indicates exposure to the virus but does not distinguish between a current or past infection. Further testing is needed for confirmation.
Syphilis Screening
The Syphilis Screening test is a treponemal-based test that detects antibodies specifically directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. Once positive, this test typically remains positive for life, regardless of treatment.
