Sexually Transmitted Infection

This STD test screens for 11 common sexually transmitted infections. Your test result will give you the critical information needed to understand if you have tested positive for any specific sexually transmitted infections.

Chlamydia Trachomatis

Chlamydia trachomatis is a common bacterium causing sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It primarily infects the genitals, often without symptoms, leading to genital discharge, pain during urination, and pelvic discomfort. Rectal and throat infections can also occur. Treatable with antibiotics, untreated cases may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and increased HIV risk. Regular testing is essential for early detection and treatment to prevent complications and transmission.

Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a bacterium that causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It primarily infects the genital tract but can also affect the throat and rectum through sexual contact. Symptoms include painful urination and genital discharge. Untreated gonorrhea can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility. Prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are crucial to manage gonorrhea effectively and prevent further transmission. Regular STI testing is recommended for sexually active individuals to detect and treat infections early.

Mycoplasma Hominis

Mycoplasma hominis is a bacterium found in the urogenital tract, often transmitted sexually. It can cause infections leading to symptoms like vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, and discomfort during urination in women, and urethritis in men. Treatment with antibiotics is recommended to manage symptoms and prevent transmission.

Ureaplasma Parvum/Urealyticum

Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum are bacteria found in the urogenital tract, sometimes causing infections like urethritis and cervicitis. They can lead to symptoms such as inflammation and discomfort. Treatment with antibiotics may be needed to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Treponema Pallidum

Treponema pallidum is the bacterium causing syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection. It progresses through stages starting with painless sores and can lead to serious complications if untreated. Prompt testing and antibiotic treatment are crucial for cure and prevention of long-term health problems. Regular STI testing is recommended for early detection and treatment.

Herpes Simplex Virus 1

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) causes oral herpes, commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters. It spreads through close personal contact and can also cause genital herpes through oral-genital contact. Symptoms include painful blisters around the mouth or genitals. While there's no cure, antiviral medications can help manage outbreaks.

Herpes Simplex Virus 2

Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection characterized by painful genital blisters or sores. It spreads through sexual contact and can be managed with antiviral medications to reduce symptoms and outbreaks.

Trichomonas Vaginalis

Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasite causing trichomoniasis, an STI that affects the urogenital tract. Symptoms include vaginal discharge, genital itching, and discomfort during urination. It's treated with antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider to prevent complications and reinfection. Regular STI testing helps with early detection and treatment.

Gardnerella Vaginalis

Gardnerella vaginalis is a bacterium that can cause bacterial vaginosis (BV), characterized by symptoms like abnormal vaginal discharge with a strong odor. Treatment involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider to restore vaginal bacterial balance and relieve symptoms. Regular gynecological check-ups and testing help in managing BV effectively.

Hepatitis B Virus

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects the liver, causing hepatitis B. It spreads through infected blood or body fluids and can lead to jaundice, fatigue, and liver complications like cirrhosis and cancer. Vaccination prevents infection, and antiviral drugs manage chronic hepatitis B. Regular screening and vaccination are crucial for prevention.

Mycoplasma Genitalium

Mycoplasma genitalium is a bacterium that causes sexually transmitted infections (STIs) affecting the genital tract. It leads to symptoms like urethritis and cervicitis in women, and urethritis in men. Treatment involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider after specialized testing. Regular STI testing is crucial for early detection and management.

Even if symptoms aren't apparent, it's important to be aware of common signs of sexually transmitted infections. For those who are sexually active and want to stay informed about their health, this approach is a simple way to take responsibility for their well-being and help prevent the spread of STIs (sexually transmitted infections) or STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).
