Comprehensive STD Test – Essential Screening for Key Sexually Transmitted Infections

Why You Need This Test

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can remain undetected for months or even years, often showing no symptoms while still causing serious health complications. The Comprehensive STD Test is a critical screening panel that detects major viral and bacterial infections, allowing for early diagnosis and timely medical intervention.

This test is recommended for:
✔ Individuals who are sexually active and want routine STI screening
✔ Those who have had unprotected sex or multiple partners
✔ Anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, jaundice, or flu-like symptoms
✔ People at high risk of exposure, including healthcare workers and those with a partner diagnosed with an STI
✔ Those planning to start a new relationship and seeking a clean health status

This comprehensive STD test screens for:

---

Viral Infections

• HIV I & II – Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) weakens the immune system, increasing vulnerability to infections. Early detection allows for timely treatment, reducing the risk of AIDS progression.
• HIV P24 Antigen – An early marker of HIV infection that can be detected before antibodies develop, improving early diagnosis and intervention.
• Hepatitis B – A liver infection that can be sexually transmitted or spread through contaminated blood, potentially leading to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
• Hepatitis C – A viral infection that affects the liver, often transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. It can remain asymptomatic for years, leading to liver damage if untreated.

---

Bacterial Infection

• Syphilis (Treponema Pallidum) – A highly infectious bacterial STI that progresses through multiple stages, potentially affecting the nervous system, heart, and internal organs if untreated.

This comprehensive screening is essential for detecting serious infections early, ensuring timely treatment and preventing complications.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Many viral and bacterial STIs are asymptomatic in the early stages. However, consider testing if you experience:

⚠ Flu-like symptoms, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes (possible signs of early HIV infection)
⚠ Fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), or abdominal pain (may indicate hepatitis)
⚠ Sores, ulcers, or rashes on the genitals or mouth (a sign of syphilis)
⚠ Dark urine, light-colored stools, or unexplained weight loss (potential liver infection)
⚠ Fever, nausea, or joint pain (may indicate hepatitis B or C)

Even if you do not have symptoms, routine STI screening is strongly advised, especially if you have had unprotected sex or a new partner.

What Happens If These Infections Are Left Untreated?

Untreated viral and bacterial STIs can lead to serious long-term complications, including:
⚠ Progression of HIV to AIDS, leading to severe immune system damage and opportunistic infections
⚠ Chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer due to hepatitis B or C
⚠ Neurological and cardiovascular damage from untreated syphilis
⚠ Increased risk of transmitting infections to partners
⚠ Infertility and complications during pregnancy in cases of syphilis

Early detection through routine screening ensures better health outcomes and reduces the risk of transmission.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate and reliable results:
✔ No fasting is required before this test.
✔ Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before testing, as it can affect liver enzyme levels.
✔ Inform your healthcare provider of any medications you are taking, particularly those affecting the immune system.
✔ If you are testing due to recent exposure, wait 2-4 weeks after potential contact for accurate results (especially for HIV and syphilis).
