Does Sexual Health Screening - Basic detect STIs?

Yes, the Sexual Health Screening - Basic can detect certain STIs, including syphilis, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C through specific tests included in the screening package.

Detection of STIs with Sexual Health Screening - Basic

The Sexual Health Screening - Basic is designed to assess your overall sexual health and identify certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This screening includes a variety of tests that help in detecting specific infections.

One of the key components of this screening is the RPR and TP-PA tests, which are used to diagnose syphilis. These tests identify antibodies that your body produces in response to the syphilis infection.

Additionally, the screening includes tests for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. The HBsAg test checks for active Hepatitis B infection, while the Anti-HCV test detects antibodies for Hepatitis C, indicating past or present infection.

While this basic screening covers these specific infections, it's important to note that not all STIs are included. For a more comprehensive evaluation, additional tests such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea screening may be necessary. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate tests based on your health and sexual history.

Regular screening is recommended starting at age 21 or when you become sexually active, with follow-up screenings annually or as advised by your healthcare provider.
