Below are the key infections assessed by each specific screening test. Kindly confirm which package you’re interested in.
Chancroid is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi. It leads to painful genital ulcers and swollen lymph nodes, typically in the groin area. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are essential to prevent complications and reduce transmission risk.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) is a protein found on the surface of the hepatitis B virus. Its presence in the blood indicates an active hepatitis B infection, either acute or chronic. Testing for HBsAg helps diagnose infection and determine if someone is contagious.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type I (HSV-1) commonly causes oral herpes, leading to cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth. It spreads through saliva or skin contact. Though often mild, it can be recurrent. In some cases, HSV-1 can also cause genital herpes through oral-genital contact.
HIV 1&2/p24 Antigen test detects HIV infection by identifying antibodies to HIV types 1 and 2, as well as the p24 antigen, an early marker of HIV. It allows for early and accurate diagnosis, improving timely treatment and care.
Mycoplasma hominis is a type of bacteria commonly found in the human genital tract. While often harmless, it can sometimes cause infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial vaginosis, or complications during pregnancy. It is typically diagnosed through lab testing and treated with antibiotics.
Syphilis is a bacterial infection detected through testing lesions or urine samples. Early diagnosis is vital to treat the infection effectively and prevent serious health complications.
Trichomonas vaginalis is a common sexually transmitted parasite causing trichomoniasis. It leads to symptoms like itching, discharge, and discomfort but can be asymptomatic. Diagnosis is through lab tests, and it’s treated effectively with antibiotics.
Chlamydia trachomatis is a common bacterial STI that often shows no symptoms. When present, it may cause genital discharge or pain during urination. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or infertility. It is easily treated with antibiotics.
Hepatitis C Antibody test detects past or current infection with the hepatitis C virus. A positive result indicates exposure, and further testing is needed to confirm active infection and guide treatment.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type II (HSV-2) primarily causes genital herpes, leading to painful sores and blisters in the genital area. It is a lifelong infection spread through sexual contact and can be managed with antiviral medication.
Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterium that can cause urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other reproductive tract infections. It often has mild or no symptoms but requires antibiotic treatment to prevent complications.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection. It can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat, causing symptoms like discharge and pain, but may also be asymptomatic. Prompt antibiotic treatment is essential to prevent complications.
Syphilis Antibodies (IgG/IgM) test detects antibodies produced in response to syphilis infection. IgM indicates recent infection, while IgG shows past or ongoing infection. This helps diagnose and monitor treatment effectiveness.
Ureaplasma urealyticum is a type of bacteria commonly found in the urinary and genital tracts. While often harmless, it can cause infections like urethritis and complications in pregnancy. Diagnosis is via lab tests, and it is treated with appropriate antibiotics.

Common Q&A about Sexual Health Testing
Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.
Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Blood tests are commonly used to detect infections such as HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and sometimes herpes.
Urine tests are often used to detect bacterial infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
A swab test involves collecting a sample from specific areas, such as the throat, genital, or rectal regions, to test for STIs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomoniasis.
Results times vary depending on the test. Some rapid tests provide results within minutes, while others, like blood or swab tests, may take a few days to a week.
No fasting is generally required for sexual health blood tests unless combined with other tests requiring fasting. Always confirm with your healthcare provider.
Tests are typically minimally invasive. Blood tests may involve a slight prick, swab tests can feel slightly uncomfortable, and urine tests are completely painless.
Avoid urinating for at least 1–2 hours before the test to ensure the sample is concentrated for accurate results.
Yes, many clinics and services offer comprehensive panels that test for multiple STIs using a combination of blood, urine, and swab tests.
Yes, sexual health testing is confidential. Your results and medical records are kept private and shared only with you unless you provide consent otherwise.
Testing frequency depends on your sexual activity and risk factors. Those with new or multiple partners should get tested regularly, typically every 3–6 months, or as recommended by a healthcare provider.
