What this test is
This panel combines multiple blood-based tests to check for antibodies or genetic material from several sexually transmitted infections in a single sample. It typically includes screening for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and trichomoniasis, among others. The exact list of infections covered can vary by laboratory.
What it measures
- HIV antibodies and antigen — reflects exposure to or infection with HIV
- Syphilis antibodies — indicates possible syphilis infection
- Hepatitis B surface antigen — shows current hepatitis B infection
- Hepatitis C antibodies — suggests past or present hepatitis C infection
- Herpes simplex virus antibodies — indicates exposure to HSV-1 or HSV-2
- Trichomonas vaginalis DNA — detects the parasite that causes trichomoniasis
What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel when a person wants a broad screening for common sexually transmitted infections or has symptoms that could be related to an STI. It is also used for routine sexual health checkups or after potential exposure.
Preparation
Preparation instructions can vary depending on the specific tests included and the laboratory performing them. Always follow the collection lab's instructions, which may include fasting or avoiding certain medications before the draw.
How results are reported
Results are typically reported as positive or negative for each infection, and sometimes with numerical values for certain markers. Reference ranges and interpretive criteria differ between laboratories, so your results should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
