What this test is
This panel combines tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis into a single order. It is typically used as a baseline eligibility screen for performers and other adult industry workers.
What it measures
- Chlamydia — detects the bacterium that causes chlamydia infection
- Gonorrhea — detects the bacterium that causes gonorrhea infection
- HIV — screens for antibodies or antigens to the human immunodeficiency virus
- Syphilis — detects antibodies produced in response to the bacterium that causes syphilis
What the test involves
Sample collection may involve a standard blood draw for HIV and syphilis, and a urine sample or swab for chlamydia and gonorrhea. The exact collection method depends on the lab and the specific tests included.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel to screen for common sexually transmitted infections before a person begins work in the adult industry. It can also be used for routine sexual health monitoring when a person has potential exposure risks.
Preparation
Follow the collection lab's instructions for any required preparation. Some labs may ask for a urine sample, so it is best to confirm specific steps with the lab before your visit.
How results are reported
