What is the 8-Test Panel?
The 8-Test Panel is a comprehensive STD screening for the 8 most common sexually transmitted infections. If you haven’t been tested for HIV or other STDs within a year or more, the 8-Test Panel is an excellent option. This doctor-approved STD test panel includes the “Gold Standard” tests for:
- Chlamydia Nucleic Acid Amplification Test
- Gonorrhea Nucleic Acid Amplification Test
- Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
- Hepatitis C Surface Antibody (Anti-HCV)
- Herpes 1 Herpes Simplex Virus Type-specific HSV-1/2 IgG
- Herpes 2 Herpes Simplex Virus Type-specific HSV-1/2 IgG
- HIV-1 Antibody Test With Reflex to Western Blot Confirmation
- Syphilis Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Test With Reflex to Quantitative RPR and Confirmation
Do I need to do anything special before getting tested?
Yes, please do not urinate for at least one hour before getting tested. Other than that, it’s a fast walk-in visit to give a urine and blood sample. Oh, and there’s no undressing or swabbing (in places you don’t want to get swabbed).
When can I expect to get my STD test results for the 8 test panel?
We know that waiting is the hardest part. Expect to get your test results in 3 business days, you receive a secure email message letting you know that your test results are ready.
