Our STD Lab Testing includes several diagnostic tests for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, Herpes Simplex 1 & 2 Exposure Screen, HIV 1 & 2 with Confirmation, syphilis and our STD Pregnancy Panel. Below we have outlined our lab testing tests.
STD PREGNANCY PANEL
If you’re sexually active, it’s important to screen for STDs so you can stay informed about your sexual health. It’s important to screen for these STDs because you may be infected, but have no symptoms, and may be at risk for infecting your developing baby. For more information, please see the descriptions of the individual tests. This test does not require fasting.
STD EXPANDED SCREENING PANEL
If you’re sexually active, it’s important to screen for STDs so you can stay informed about your sexual health. This panel includes tests for trichomonas, which is a curable parasitic infection, and hepatitis B and C, which are viral infections spread through vaginal secretions, saliva, and semen.
It’s important to screen for these STDs because you may be infected but have no symptoms. For more information, please see the descriptions of the individual tests. This test does not require fasting.
STD BASIC SCREENING PANEL
This test screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. If you’re sexually active and have unprotected sex, it’s important to screen for STDs so you can stay informed about your sexual health. For more information, please see the descriptions of the individual tests. This test does not require fasting.
SYPHILIS WITH CONFIRMATION
This test screens for syphilis, an infection that leads to sores, rashes, and lesions on your body. If left untreated, it can spread to the brain and nervous system (neurosyphilis) or the eyes (ocular syphilis), potentially leading to blindness. Fortunately, syphilis can be cured with treatment. This test does not require fasting. You might consider testing if you have had unprotected sex or do not speak to your partners about their STD status. Have multiple sex partners or learn your partner has an STD. Are a man who has sex with men. Have exchanged sex for drugs or money or are pregnant

This test screens for exposure to herpes, an STD that can cause painful sores around the mouth or genitals. The test checks for both types of herpes: herpes type-1 most often causes oral herpes and herpes type-2 most often causes genital herpes, although herpes type-1 is responsible for an increasing proportion of genital infections. Although there is no cure for herpes, treatment can help relieve the symptoms and prevent future episodes. This test does not require fasting.
Most people with HIV do not initially have symptoms. Those with symptoms may experience flu-like symptoms including fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, or mouth ulcers lasting 1-2 weeks.
If you previously had a negative test but are still experiencing symptoms, you may want to consider taking the test again since the average window period for tests to detect HIV is 3-12 weeks. This test does not require fasting.
This test screens for gonorrhea and chlamydia, common STDs that can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat. You may or may not have any symptoms. If left untreated, these STDs can lead to serious complications like infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Gonorrhea and chlamydia may be cured in almost all cases with the right treatment. This test does not require fasting.
You might consider testing if:
- Have had unprotected sex or do not speak to your partners about their STD status
- Have multiple sex partners or learn your partner has an STD
- Are a woman and have symptoms including pain or burning when urinating, increased/abnormal vaginal discharge, or abdominal pain or bleeding between periods.
- Are a man and have symptoms including burning after urination or ejaculation, itching of the penis, white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis, or swollen testicles.
- Have rectal symptoms including discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, or painful bowel movements. Symptoms in the mouth can occur if you have engaged in oral sexual activity.
- Previously had a negative test but are still experiencing symptoms. You may want to consider taking the test again since the average period for detecting chlamydia/gonorrhea is 2-6 days but can be up to 30 days.
- Are sexually active and have tested positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea in the past (up to 25% of women treated for chlamydia get re-infected within three to six months. Gonorrhea can also recur and may require retesting).
- Are a man who has sex with men
- Share or have shared injection drug equipment
