Ultimate STD Panel
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are a group of infections that can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact. Many people may not realize that some STDs “live” at the site of infection, which can include the mouth and throat if the sexual contact is oral. Traditional STD tests only involve urine samples, blood samples, or genital swabs. Although these tests are very useful, they may not provide the full picture of a person’s complete STD status.
The Ultimate STD Panel is the only panel designed to test for genital and oral STD infections by testing a combination of urine, blood, and saliva samples. Blood will be used to screen for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C infections. The urine and saliva samples will be used to screen for gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, mycoplasma, and others.
Since it is possible for STDs to be present without symptoms, thorough testing is essential. Not just for your health, but also for your partner’s. This comprehensive test helps ensure early detection and supports responsible sexual health.
