STD Screening Test Panel — Basic
The STD Screening Test Panel — Basic is a confidential blood test designed to screen for several of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Many STIs can be present without causing noticeable symptoms, making routine screening an important part of preventive healthcare.
Whether you're beginning a new relationship, have had a potential exposure, or simply want peace of mind, regular screening can help identify infections early, when treatment is often most effective. Early detection also helps reduce the risk of complications and lowers the chance of unintentionally transmitting an infection to others.
At ICare, we provide discreet, convenient mobile specimen collection in the privacy of your home, office, or preferred location, making it easier than ever to take control of your sexual health.
What Does This Test Measure?
The Basic STD Screening Panel typically screens for several of the most common sexually transmitted infections through a blood sample. Depending on your healthcare provider's order, the panel may include:
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
This test screens for HIV, the virus that attacks the body's immune system.
Early diagnosis allows individuals to begin treatment sooner, helping maintain long-term health, improve quality of life, and greatly reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others.
Syphilis
This test detects antibodies associated with syphilis, a bacterial infection that often begins with mild symptoms—or no symptoms at all.
If left untreated, syphilis can progress and affect the heart, brain, nervous system, and other organs. Early detection allows for effective treatment before serious complications develop.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver.
Many individuals do not experience symptoms during the early stages of infection. Identifying hepatitis B early allows for appropriate medical evaluation and monitoring to help protect long-term liver health.
Hepatitis C
This test screens for hepatitis C, another virus that primarily affects the liver.
Many people with hepatitis C have no symptoms for years, making screening especially important for individuals with certain risk factors or possible exposure.
Early diagnosis can lead to highly effective treatment and help prevent long-term liver damage.
