Screens for four common STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV 1 & 2.
This STD panel tests for four of the most common sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV 1 & 2. Individuals with STDs may not experience symptoms, leading to serious health complications. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. This test offers convenient online purchase and sample collection at a Quest Diagnostics location. If results are abnormal, an independent physician may provide treatment options at no extra cost.

Who Is This For?
Anyone who is sexually active and hasn't been tested recently. People starting a new relationship who want to know their status. Individuals who have had unprotected sex or multiple partners. Anyone experiencing symptoms like unusual discharge, sores, or painful urination. Routine screening as recommended by health guidelines (annually for sexually active adults).
What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required. For the most accurate HIV results, test at least 2–4 weeks after potential exposure (window period varies by test type). Urine-based tests for chlamydia/gonorrhea require not urinating for at least 1 hour before sample collection.
Biomarkers Tested
6Chlamydia is a very common sexually transmissible infection. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which can lead to chronic pain and infertility.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Untreated gonorrhea can lead to long-term health concerns and, in some cases, infertility.
Syphilis IgG/IgM; results are POSITIVE or NEGATIVE
Human immunodeficiency viruses; may be asymptomatic; detected via blood test.
Detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and/or p24 antigen. Fourth-generation tests can detect infection as early as 2–4 weeks after exposure. Early detection enables treatment that can achieve viral suppression and prevent transmission.
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.
