Why Get An STD Panel?

STDs are also known as sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Many STIs cause few or no symptoms yet can still be transmitted and, if untreated, lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, chronic liver disease, neurologic problems, and immune-system damage. Screening is recommended for sexually active people with new or multiple partners and after a possible recent exposure. A negative result can provide reassurance while a positive result allows prompt treatment and partner notification.

This STD lab testing panel consist of the chlamydia and gonorrhea test panel, hepatitis B surface antigen test and hepatitis C test, herpes 1 & 2 test, HIV 1 & 2 test, and the RPR test. This group of STI tests provides a wide range of coverage for sexually transmitted infections in the community and also covers some less common ones for added comfort. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are typically communicated via infected urine and can cause pelvic pain or pain with urination. Hepatitis B and C are viruses that can cause long-term damage to the liver. A herpes simplex virus infection can cause oral and genital lesions. HIV infections can lead to destruction of the immune system. Untreated syphilis, screened for by the RPR test, can cause a wide range of problems in places like the nervous system and the skin.

Understanding STD Test Results

Refer to your test report for more information. Negative results signify that the tested infections are not detectable at the time of sampling. STD test results are a snapshot it time and do not guarantee future protection. Retesting may be advised after later exposures or if symptoms develop after testing. Positive or reactive results should be reviewed with a clinician promptly for confirmatory testing (when needed), treatment, and partner notification. In the setting of symptoms (e.g. discharge, sores, pelvic pain), it is recommended that people seek an in-person clinical evaluation urgently.

STD - More Information

STDs are very common in the United States with millions of new cases reported each year (according to the CDC). STDs can be a public health concern because they are easily spread through sexual activity and other activities that involve the sharing of body fluids. Because one might carry an STI and not have any symptoms, regular STD testing is recommended for sexually active people and particularly ones with multiple partners. Given the many physical and psychosocial consequences, improving access to STD testing is considered important from a public health perspective.
