### STD 11 Panel (Real Time PCR) – Chlamydia Trachomatis, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma Urealyticum, Mycoplasma Hominis, HSV I

#### Why You Need This Test
The STD 11 Panel (Real Time PCR) is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to detect seven common sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Chlamydia Trachomatis, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma Urealyticum, Mycoplasma Hominis, and Herpes Simplex Virus Type I (HSV I). These infections can often go unnoticed due to mild or absent symptoms, yet they can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. This test uses advanced Real Time PCR technology to provide accurate and reliable results, enabling early diagnosis and effective treatment. Whether you are experiencing symptoms, have had unprotected sexual contact, or are undergoing routine STI screening, this test is an essential tool for safeguarding your sexual and reproductive health.

#### Symptoms That Indicate This Test
Consider taking the STD 11 Panel if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:
– Unusual vaginal or penile discharge
– Pain or burning sensation during urination
– Genital itching, irritation, or sores
– Pelvic pain or discomfort during intercourse
– Irregular bleeding or spotting
– Swelling or redness in the genital area
– History of unprotected sexual activity or multiple partners
– Partner diagnosed with an STI

These symptoms may indicate the presence of one or more infections covered by this panel. Early detection is key to preventing complications and reducing the risk of transmission.

#### Natural Production
The pathogens tested in this panel are not naturally produced by the body but are external microorganisms that can infect the genital tract. For example, Chlamydia Trachomatis and Mycoplasma Genitalium are bacterial infections, while HSV I is a viral infection. The body’s immune system typically works to fight off these infections, but factors such as weakened immunity, unprotected sexual contact, or untreated infections can allow these pathogens to persist and cause complications.

#### What Happens If Untreated
If left untreated, the infections screened in this panel can lead to severe health issues, including:
– Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility
– Epididymitis in men, leading to pain and potential infertility
– Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy
– Chronic pelvic pain
– Neonatal infections during childbirth
– Increased susceptibility to other STIs, including HIV
– Long-term complications such as scarring of reproductive organs

Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical to preventing these outcomes and maintaining overall health.

#### How to Prepare for the Test
To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guidelines:
– Avoid urinating for at least one hour before providing a urine sample.
– If a dry swab sample is required, follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
– Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or treatments you are currently undergoing.

No fasting or additional preparation is required for this test.

#### Test Overview
– **Sample Type**: Dry Swab / Urine
