We offer an array of STD Testing to best meet your distinct situation. All of the subsequent STD Tests can be obtained separately or within a panel created for your distinct requirements.
If this listing of options appears overwhelming, don’t be concerned! Your std testing counselor will be able to customize your testing to your specific requirements utilizing only a few basic questions, and will most likely have the ability to present you with an STD testing panel which will combine the most typical tests listed below into one, single, more affordable panel that will give you total peace of mind!
HIV Testing
HIV-1/HIV-2 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 & 2) Antibody Screen with Western Blot Confirmation
If your exposure has been over 90 days ago, this specific test will look for the antibodies that will be produced by your body’s immune system in response to the virus.
HIV DNA by PCR
For those individuals who’s contact happens to be more recent, this particular highly advanced test can detect minute traces of the virus’s DNA in your body as soon as seventy two hours from contact.
Syphilis Testing
RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) For Syphilis
The RPR test is considered the most typical syphilis test carried out and is done so with a blood specimen. If the RPR test returns positive a confirmatory test (fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption or FTA-ABS test) would be conducted at no additional cost.
Chlamydia Testing
Chlamydia Urine Test
This test is carried out with a simple urine specimen. Using nucleic acid amplification to identify the presence of the bacterium, this test has been proven to be much more successful than a swab test, and far less uncomfortable.
Gonorrhea Testing
Gonorrhea Urine Test
Just as with the Chlamydia test, this test is also performed with a simple urine specimen. Using nucleic acid amplification to detect the presence of the bacterium, this test is proven to be much more successful than a swab test, and far less unpleasant.
Hepatitis Testing
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test
This is the most often and easily conducted test for hepatitis B and it is the first test to show irregular results. HBsAg typically signifies active hepatitis B virus infection.
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Test
This antibody presents itself around 30 days following the disappearance of the surface antigen and indicates the end of the acute infection phase. HBsAb also signifies immunity to subsequent infections.
Hepatitis C Core Antibody Test
This antibody appears around 1 month after infection with HBsAg and diminishes over several years. HBcAb is also present in individuals with chronic hepatitis.
CBC
Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential Test
The CBC and Differential test provide a snapshot of your body’s immune system and will supply invaluable information which may indicate a possible infection. White blood cell counts, red blood cell counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet counts are only a few of the indicators included in this series.
Urinalysis
Urinalysis Testing
Total Urinary Analysis (UA) entails several routine tests on a urine sample. Many bacterial infections can be identified using this test, even if the infection is not necessarily an STD.
