What's Included
This panel screens for nine common sexually transmitted infections. Biomarkers may vary slightly between labs.
Chlamydia
- Chlamydia trachomatis RNA, TMA: Detects genetic material from the bacteria that cause chlamydia.
- Chlamydia trachomatis, NAA: Nucleic acid amplification test for the same bacteria, used by some labs.
Gonorrhea
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA, TMA: Detects genetic material from the bacteria that cause gonorrhea.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae, NAA: Nucleic acid amplification test for the same bacteria, used by some labs.
Syphilis (RPR)
- RPR: Screens for the bacterium that causes syphilis, Treponema pallidum.
- RPR (Monitor) w/REFL Titer: Reports a titer when the initial screen is reactive.
- RPR Titer: Measures the strength of a reactive RPR result.
- LabCorp only, RPR, Rfx Qn RPR/Confirm TP (test code 012005): If the screen is reactive, may add a quantitative RPR and a Treponema pallidum antibody test, with an interpretation.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
HIV
- HIV Ag/Ab, Screen: Looks for HIV antigen and antibodies in your blood.
- HIV Screen 4th Generation w/Rfx: Fourth generation screen with reflex testing when needed.
- HIV Final Interpretation: Provides the final HIV result interpretation.
Hepatitis C
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
- HSV 1 IgG, Type Specific Ab: Detects IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1.
- HSV 2 IgG, Type Specific Ab: Detects IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 2.
Benefits

FAQ
1. What does this panel test for?
This panel screens for nine common sexually transmitted infections. It combines urine-based tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea with blood tests for syphilis (RPR), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. Together, they give you a broad snapshot. A screening panel does not diagnose a condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this panel, and how often should I test?
This panel may suit adults who want broad STD screening in a single order. That includes people with symptoms such as unusual discharge, genital sores, painful urination, or itching, as well as people who suspect an exposure. It also includes people with no symptoms who want routine screening or peace of mind. Because many STDs cause mild symptoms or none at all, it is possible to have an infection and not know it. Screening can support earlier awareness, which helps you and your healthcare provider decide on next steps sooner.
Testing frequency depends on your individual circumstances, so it is best to test as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have new symptoms or a possible exposure, you may also choose to speak with your provider about whether testing makes sense for you.
3. How do I prepare for this test?
No fasting is required, so you can test any time of day. Do not urinate one hour prior to collection, and stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to collection.
4. How quickly will I get results?
Results are available in 3-5 business days. This may take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
5. How do I interpret the results?
Your report lists each biomarker with its result. Patterns across several biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single value, so review the full picture together. Some results may include reflex testing or an interpretation, depending on the lab. For example, at LabCorp, a reactive syphilis screen may add a quantitative RPR and a Treponema pallidum antibody test, with an interpretation.
Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
6. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
An abnormal or reactive result does not necessarily confirm a condition. Contact your healthcare provider promptly to review any follow-up testing and talk through next steps, and bring your full report to your appointment. Avoid drawing conclusions on your own.
Pre-test preparation
