Comprehensive STD testing including HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, and other common infections.
Sexual health screening tests detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that often present with no symptoms at all. Many STIs — including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B/C — can be carried asymptomatically for months or years while still being transmissible and causing internal damage. Blood-based STI panels typically screen for HIV (antibody/antigen), syphilis (RPR/VDRL), and hepatitis B and C. Urine or swab tests are usually needed for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Early detection is crucial because most STIs are curable with antibiotics when caught early, and even viral STIs like HIV can be managed effectively with modern antiretroviral therapy when detected promptly.
