Description
It is recommended to consider getting tested for STDs if you are sexually active, have had unprotected sex, are entering a new relationship, experiencing symptoms of an STD, or have had a partner with an STD. However, it is important to be aware of the “window period,” which is the period of time where laboratory tests may not be able to detect the STD. The length of this period varies for each STD. While some STDs can be detected within 2 to 4 weeks post-exposure, others may not be detectable until 10-12 weeks post-exposure, such as hepatitis C and syphilis. To determine the appropriate timing and types of tests needed, it is best to seek guidance from a healthcare provider who can evaluate your specific situation.

What’s included in the test?
• Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most commonly reported bacterial infection worldwide and is particularly prevalent among individuals aged 15 to 24, with approximately 1 in 20 sexually active young women (aged 14 to 24) affected. Men who have sex with men are also at higher risk of contracting chlamydia.
• Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is another STD caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It primarily affects the mucous membranes that line the reproductive tract, with infections in women affecting the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes, and in men, the urethra. This bacterium can also infect the mucous membranes of the mouth, eyes, and rectum.
• Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a protozoan parasite known as Trichomonas vaginalis. This infection mainly affects the lower genital tract, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, and urethra in females, while in males, the infection commonly affects the inside of the penis (urethra).
• HIV
HIV is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). If left untreated, HIV can progress to acquired human immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS, which weakens the immune system and makes individuals more vulnerable to infections.
