At Nao Medical, we understand the importance of regular STD testing. Our comprehensive blood test panel is designed to detect a range of sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. If you’re sexually active, it’s essential to get tested regularly to protect your health and the health of your partners.
What is an STD Blood Test Panel?
An STD blood test panel is a comprehensive test that checks for several sexually transmitted infections at once. The test is done by taking a blood sample, which is then sent to a lab for analysis. The results can take a few days to come back, but they provide a comprehensive picture of your sexual health.
Why Get Tested?
STDs are more common than you might think. According to the CDC, there were over 2.4 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis reported in the United States in 2018. Many people with STDs don’t experience any symptoms, which means they can unknowingly pass the infection on to others. Regular testing is the best way to protect yourself and your partners from the spread of STDs.
What to Expect During the Test
Getting an STD blood test panel is a quick and easy process. You’ll need to provide a blood sample, which is usually taken from your arm. The process is similar to getting a regular blood test. Once the sample is taken, it will be sent to a lab for analysis. You’ll receive your results within a few days.
