STD 7 Pathogen Test – Comprehensive Screening for Sexual Health

Why You Need This Test

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be silent, meaning they may not show symptoms but can cause long-term health complications if left untreated. The STD 7 Pathogen Test is a comprehensive screening panel designed to detect bacterial and viral infections, providing a thorough assessment of your sexual health.

This test is recommended for:
✔ Individuals who are sexually active and want regular STI screening
✔ Those experiencing genital irritation, abnormal discharge, or pain during 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

This 7-pathogen screening detects the following infections:

---

Bacterial Infections

• Chlamydia Trachomatis – A bacterial STI that can cause painful urination, abnormal discharge, and infertility if left untreated.
• Treponema Pallidum (Syphilis) – A serious bacterial infection that progresses through stages, potentially affecting the nervous system, heart, and internal organs if untreated.
• Mycoplasma Genitalium & Mycoplasma Hominis – Emerging STIs that cause persistent urethritis, genital irritation, and reproductive health issues.
• Ureaplasma Urealyticum – A bacterial infection that may lead to urethritis, bacterial vaginosis, and complications in pregnancy.

---

Viral Infections

• HSV I (Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1) – Typically associated with oral herpes (cold sores) but can also cause genital infections.
• HSV II (Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2) – The primary cause of genital herpes, leading to painful blisters, sores, and recurring outbreaks.

This comprehensive test ensures the detection of hidden infections, many of which can be asymptomatic for long periods.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Many STIs show no symptoms, but you should consider testing if you experience:

⚠ Painful urination or burning sensation
⚠ Unusual genital discharge (clear, white, yellow, or green)
⚠ Genital itching, irritation, or redness
⚠ Pain or discomfort during sexual activity
⚠ Genital sores, blisters, or ulcers (possible herpes or syphilis)
⚠ Swollen lymph nodes or unexplained fever
⚠ Lower abdominal pain or pelvic discomfort
⚠ Painful or swollen testicles

Even if no symptoms are present, routine STI screening is strongly advised, especially if you have had unprotected sex or a new partner.

What Happens If STIs Are Left Untreated?

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

Regular STD testing is essential for early detection, effective treatment, and preventing further transmission.
