The seven STD markers tested in both STD test panels check for the most common sexually transmitted infections. This particular STD early detection test panel provides early detection for HIV-1 which, in particular, makes it helpful for people who fear they have been exposed to HIV very recently through sex or a blood exposure. With the other STD blood and urine markers tested, this panel offers early, comprehensive testing for people who want peace of mind.
