  • Hepatitis C Antibody Test — detects antibodies produced in response to the Hepatitis C virus
  • Syphilis Test — detects antibodies that the body makes in response to syphilis infection
  • Chlamydia/Gonorrhea Test — detects genetic material from Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria
  • Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 & 2 Test — detects antibodies related to HSV types 1 and 2 infection

What the test involves

Depending on the specific tests ordered, a sample may be collected through a standard blood draw or by providing a urine sample. The collection process is generally quick and straightforward.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians often order these tests when a patient reports potential exposure to an STI or experiences symptoms suggestive of an infection. Early detection and treatment are important for managing STIs and preventing complications.
