STD - Basic

Service Description

When and Why the STD Basic Panel May Be Ordered The STD Basic panel may be ordered when an individual presents with symptoms consistent with an STD, which might include unusual discharge, pain during intercourse, itching, or sores in the genital area. However, many STDs can be asymptomatic, especially in their initial stages. Thus, it's not uncommon for this panel to be ordered as part of routine screening, especially for sexually active individuals or those with multiple sexual partners. Regular testing is crucial because early detection and treatment can prevent complications and potential transmission to partners. What the STD Basic Panel Checks For Chlamydia/Neisseria gonorrhea RNA, TMA: This test employs transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) to detect the RNA of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea, pathogens responsible for chlamydia and gonorrhea infections respectively.

If the RPR test is reactive, a "reflex to titer" is performed to measure the amount of reagin in the blood, providing an indication of the disease's activity.

In addition to the tests present in the Basic panel, the Comprehensive panel also includes the "Hepatitis Panel, General," which screens for various types of hepatitis, a group of viral infections affecting the liver. Early detection of hepatitis can lead to prompt treatment and reduce the risk of liver-related complications.
