Test for 3 Common STDs with a Single Panel

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are a growing public health concern in the United States. According to the CDC’s 2018 STD Surveillance Report, over 2.4 million combined cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were reported in just one year—highlighting the importance of routine screening.

The STD Essentials Panel is a convenient and reliable way to screen for the three most commonly reported STDs in the U.S. This panel is ideal if you’re experiencing symptoms, have had a recent partner change, or simply want to stay informed about your health.

What’s Included

• Chlamydia (Urine Test): Detects Chlamydia trachomatis, a bacterial infection that affects both men and women. It often shows no symptoms, but when present, they may include painful urination, discomfort during intercourse, lower abdominal pain, or abnormal genital discharge.
• Gonorrhea (Urine Test): Screens for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. This infection may affect the genitals, rectum, or throat and may cause symptoms such as burning urination, itching, or genital discharge. If left untreated, it can spread to the blood or joints, leading to more serious health issues.
• Syphilis (Blood Test): Detects Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. The infection typically starts with a painless sore in the genital, rectal, or oral area. If not diagnosed and treated early, syphilis can progress and cause severe complications, including damage to internal organs.

Purpose: Screen for the three most commonly reported STDs in the United States with a single, reliable, and discreet panel. Designed for proactive individuals or those experiencing symptoms, this test helps you take control of your sexual health with accurate, physician-reviewed results.
