About STD Testing in Alexandria
An STD profile bundles several tests into one panel so that multiple infections can be assessed from the same sample collection.
Panels typically include tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and sometimes hepatitis B or C and trichomoniasis. The exact combination varies by laboratory and by the reason for testing.
Sample collection depends on the infections included. Blood is used for syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis; urine or a genital swab is used for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Some panels also use a throat or rectal swab when exposure at those sites is a concern.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though this can differ between laboratories and between individual assays. A positive result usually leads to confirmatory testing or a discussion about treatment, while a negative result does not rule out an infection acquired very recently.
