A panel is usually selected based on symptoms, exposure history, and guidance from a clinician.
About STD Testing in Perry Hall
What an STD panel measures depends on which tests are ordered, but most panels focus on a few common bacterial and viral infections.
Bacterial infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are typically detected through nucleic acid amplification testing, bacterial culture, or blood serology. Viral infections including HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are usually identified by antigen and antibody assays or by nucleic acid testing.
Sample collection varies by the infection being tested. Urine, blood, and swabs taken from the throat, rectum, or genital area are common. Some tests require a specific collection method, so the instructions provided with the order should be followed carefully.
Turnaround time is usually one to three business days, though it can differ by test and by the laboratory performing the analysis. A negative result does not rule out every infection, particularly during the window period before a person's body produces detectable markers.
