  • 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
