Order STD TestingSTD testing refers to a group of laboratory methods used to detect infections that are commonly transmitted through sexual contact. Because different infections require different detection techniques, no single test covers every organism. A screen is therefore assembled from several individual assays, chosen according to the exposure history, symptoms, and guidance of a clinician.
About STD Testing in Shawnee
A sexually transmitted disease screen is a collection of separate laboratory tests rather than one procedure.
Each assay in the panel targets a specific organism. Common targets include Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum, human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C, and herpes simplex virus. Some are detected by nucleic acid amplification, which identifies genetic material from the organism, while others rely on antibody or antigen detection in blood.
Sample collection depends on which infections are being evaluated. Urine and swabs from the genital tract, throat, or rectum are used for bacterial infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Blood draws are used for syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis. In some cases a clinician may collect more than one sample type to cover all requested tests.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though the time can differ between assays in the same panel. A negative result usually means the organism or the expected immune response was not detected at the time of collection. A positive result indicates that evidence of infection was found and typically prompts confirmatory or supplemental testing as well as a discussion of treatment options.
