Because no single specimen or method detects every infection, a testing panel is usually assembled around the specific organisms a clinician or patient wants to evaluate.
About STD Testing in Algonquin
Sexually transmitted infections are caused by distinct pathogens, and each requires its own detection method.
A typical panel may include chlamydia and gonorrhea, which are commonly detected together from a urine sample or a swab; trichomoniasis, often assessed from a urine sample or a vaginal swab; syphilis, detected through a blood test; HIV, also detected through a blood test; and hepatitis B and C, each detected through blood testing. Herpes testing may use a swab of an active lesion or a blood test, depending on the situation.
Sample collection depends on the tests ordered. Blood is drawn from a vein for serology-based tests such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. Urine is collected for nucleic acid amplification tests that detect chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Swabs may be collected from the urethra, cervix, vagina, rectum, or throat, and some panels allow self-collected swabs under the lab's instructions.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though the exact time varies by test and laboratory. Screening is most useful when the right tests are selected for the exposure and symptoms in question, so a clinician can help match the panel to the situation.
