Most sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do not manifest with specific signs or symptoms [4].
.
The importance of VALIDATED screening and ACCURATE molecular diagnostic tests cannot be overstated.
These measures are crucial for the timely and effective identification of STIs, even in cases where individuals may not exhibit noticeable clinical indications
It Matters Where You Test
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing has demonstrated superior sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional testing methods, enabling more precise detection of various microorganisms. Molecular methods, such as PCR, prove especially valuable for the identification of microorganisms that are challenging to culture [3,4].
What to do After Your Test?
In 72 hours or less your lab results will be ready. It is imperative that any diagnostic results are promptly shared with your healthcare provider. This ensures that your healthcare team is well-informed, allowing them to provide you with comprehensive and timely medical guidance based on the test outcomes. Open communication between you and your provider is key to fostering a collaborative, safe and effective approach to your health management.
How is this Test Collected?
We'll provide you with a cup and a handy wipe. After giving your genital area a quick wipe, urinate a little into the toilet, then pause. Hold the cup a few inches from where you pee, and fill it about halfway. Feel free to finish up in the toilet. Simple, right?
