Order STD TestingSexually transmitted disease (STD) testing refers to a group of laboratory tests that detect infections passed through sexual contact. Because different infections require different collection methods and laboratory techniques, no single test screens for every STD. Instead, a panel is selected based on the infections of concern, the sample types collected, and the person's risk factors.
About STD Testing in Aurora
STD testing is not one test but a collection of assays that identify specific bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections.
Common targets include chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and herpes simplex virus. Each organism has its own preferred specimen: urine, a swab from the genital tract, a blood sample, or sometimes a combination.
Laboratory methods vary by infection. Bacterial infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are often detected with nucleic acid amplification tests, which identify genetic material from the organism. Syphilis and HIV are typically detected through blood tests that look for antibodies, antigens, or viral genetic material.
Timing matters because of the window period, the interval between exposure and when a test can reliably detect infection. Testing too early may produce a negative result even when an infection is present. A healthcare professional can advise on appropriate timing and which panel is suitable.
