This test is recommended for: ✔ Individuals who are sexually active and want routine STI screening ✔ Those experiencing genital discomfort, unusual discharge, or painful urination ✔ People with multiple sexual partners or unprotected sexual activity ✔ Anyone planning to start a new relationship and seeking a clean health status ✔ Individuals who have had a partner diagnosed with an STI The STD 14 Pathogen Test screens for the following infections: Bacterial Infections Chlamydia Trachomatis – A bacterial STI that can cause painful urination, genital discharge, and infertility if untreated. Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea) – A highly contagious STI affecting the genitals, throat, and rectum, potentially leading to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility. Mycoplasma Genitalium & Mycoplasma Hominis – Emerging STIs linked to persistent urethritis, genital discomfort, and reproductive issues. Ureaplasma Parvum & Ureaplasma Urealyticum – Can cause urethritis, bacterial vaginosis, and complications in pregnancy. Treponema Pallidum (Syphilis) – A bacterial infection that progresses in stages, affecting the nervous system, heart, and internal organs if untreated. Gardnerella Vaginalis – Associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), which can cause vaginal irritation, abnormal discharge, and a fishy odor.

Viral Infections HSV I & II (Herpes Simplex Virus) – Causes genital and oral herpes, characterized by painful blisters and recurring outbreaks. This comprehensive panel ensures the detection of hidden infections, many of which can be asymptomatic for months or even years. Symptoms That Indicate This Test STIs can remain silent for long periods, but you should consider testing if you experience: ⚠ Unusual genital discharge (clear, white, yellow, or green) ⚠ Pain or burning sensation during urination ⚠ Genital itching, irritation, or redness ⚠ Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse ⚠ Sores, ulcers, or blisters around the genitals or mouth ⚠ Swollen lymph nodes or unexplained fever ⚠ Lower abdominal pain or pelvic discomfort ⚠ Painful or swollen testicles ⚠ Strong or foul-smelling vaginal or penile discharge Even if no symptoms are present, regular STI screening is strongly recommended, especially if you have had unprotected sex or a new partner.

Ignoring undiagnosed STIs can lead to severe long-term complications, including: ⚠ Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – A serious condition in women that damages the reproductive system and can cause infertility. ⚠ Epididymitis – A painful condition in men affecting the testicles and sperm production. ⚠ Increased risk of HIV transmission – Having an untreated STI increases susceptibility to HIV and other infections. ⚠ Complications during pregnancy – STIs can lead to miscarriages, premature birth, and neonatal infections. ⚠ Chronic genital discomfort and inflammation – Persistent STIs can cause long-term irritation and pain.
