STD Screening — Advanced
An expanded screening panel that checks for a broader range of sexually transmitted infections.
What is STD Screening — Advanced?
The Advanced STD screening panel expands on essential testing to cover a broader range of sexually transmitted infections, offering a more comprehensive picture of your sexual health. In addition to the infections covered in essential screening, this panel typically includes tests for hepatitis B and C, herpes, and other infections relevant to your individual risk profile. Testing is conducted through blood and urine samples at an accredited laboratory, with a physician reviewing your results and providing confidential guidance on your overall sexual health and any recommended next steps.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A desire for more comprehensive sexual health screening
- Multiple or higher-risk sexual partners
- A history of a previous sexually transmitted infection
- Symptoms that warrant broader testing
- A physician's recommendation for expanded screening based on your history
How does this procedure help?
Advanced screening provides a more thorough assessment of your sexual health, catching a wider range of infections that essential screening alone might not cover. This comprehensive approach means fewer gaps in your health picture and more confidence in your results. As with all our screening services, your results and consultation are handled with complete confidentiality and discretion.
