About STD Testing in Merced
A standard STD screen typically combines several individual tests into one panel, selected according to the infections most relevant to the person being tested.
Screening panels commonly include tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and in some cases hepatitis B or C and trichomoniasis. The exact combination depends on the panel ordered, the sample types collected, and the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Samples may include urine, a blood draw, or a swab from the throat, rectum, or genital area. Different infections are detected in different ways, so more than one sample type is often needed to complete a full panel.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days after the laboratory receives the samples. A negative result indicates no evidence of infection at the time of collection, while a positive result usually prompts confirmatory testing or a discussion about treatment options.
