IFCOR's four-disease STI blood screen tests for the four most significant sexually transmitted blood-borne infections — hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibodies (anti-HCV Ig), HIV antibodies, and syphilis (RPR plus confirmatory TPHA) — from a single blood draw. These are the infections most commonly screened before sexual health check-ups, new relationships, or as pre-procedural requirements for some medical treatments. The panel requires no fasting and results are available the next business day. Negative results are meaningful only during the appropriate window period: HIV requires retesting if exposure was within the last 6 weeks.
About this treatment

HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) detects active hepatitis B infection — both acute and chronic.

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
5Indicates immunity against HBV due to vaccination or previous infection.
Detects antibodies to hepatitis C virus, indicating current or past infection. A positive result requires confirmatory RNA testing. Hepatitis C is now curable with direct-acting antiviral medications in most patients.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
