About the test Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are common infections that spread from person to person during sexual activity and skin-to-skin contact. People with STDs may not have any signs or symptoms and this can lead to serious complications. If you’re sexually active and have unprotected sex, it’s important to screen for STDs so you can stay informed about your sexual health. Testing is the only way to know for sure whether you have a sexually transmitted infection. The STD Basic Panel individually screens for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV-1, and -2. WHAT’S TESTED The STD Basic Panel screens for 4 of the most common sexually transmitted infections found in the United States today1-3,5,6: Chlamydia Chlamydia is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. The CDC reports chlamydia as the most commonly reported STD in the United States. However, some men and most women with chlamydia may never experience symptoms, which makes it underreported and very easy to spread from person to person. For men, testing for chlamydia is usually done with a physician-collected swab; for women, with a physician-collected or self-collected vaginal swab; or, for both men and women, a sample of urine. Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics. If chlamydia is not treated, it usually does not go away on its own. It can stay within the body for years without symptoms, and may flare up and cause serious complications. In men, untreated chlamydia can spread to the testicles and epididymis (tubes that carry sperm from the testicles). In women, untreated chlamydia can spread to reproductive organs and can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and ectopic pregnancy. Infertility may result in both men and women. Gonorrhea Gonorrhea is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The CDC reports gonorrhea as the second most commonly reported STD in the United States. However, both men and women may never experience symptoms, which makes it underreported and very easy to spread from person-to-person. It can cause infection in the genitals, throat, and rectum. Testing for genital gonorrhea is usually done with a sample of urine or a penile or vaginal swab. Gonorrhea is easily treatable, but usually will not go away on its own. If gonorrhea is treated early, it is unlikely to lead to complications; however, if it is not treated, it can spread and may cause serious complications. In men, untreated gonorrhea can spread to the testicles and prostate gland. In women, untreated gonorrhea can spread to reproductive organs and can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and ectopic pregnancy. Infertility may be a result in both men and women. Syphilis Syphilis is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. Men and women may never experience symptoms of syphilis, which makes it very easy to spread from person to person. It can cause infection in the genitals, throat, and rectum and can lead to sores, rashes, and lesions on your body. Testing for syphilis is usually done with a sample of blood (collected by finger prick). Syphilis is treatable, but usually will not go away on its own. Treatment with antibiotics is very effective; however, if your test results are positive, it is important to start treatment immediately and get tested frequently. If syphilis is not treated, it can cause damage to the brain, eyes, heart, nerves, bones, joints, and liver. HIV-1 and HIV-2 HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is a sexually transmitted viral infection. Without treatment, HIV infection may cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV attacks the immune cells and weakens the body's defenses against infection. Initially, men and women infected with HIV may have no or mild symptoms for many years, which makes it easy to spread through unprotected sex. The virus can pass from person to person through contact with HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, or blood.Testing for HIV is done with a sample of blood (collected by finger prick). There are 2 types of HIV found in the US, HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is the most common. Our test checks for both types of HIV. There is no cure for HIV or AIDS, but there are treatment options that can slow the progression of the disease. HIV does not go away on its own. If left untreated, HIV can cause damage to the immune system and may develop into AIDS. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS The STD Basic Screening Panel can be performed in people with and without symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. When symptoms do occur, they may vary depending on the person and the infection. Some of the most common symptoms include2,3,5,6: * Burning with urination * Increased urinary frequency * Itching or irritation of the vagina or penis * Discharge from the vagina or penis * Lower abdominal pain * Pain during sexual intercourse * Unusual vaginal bleeding * Pain in the scrotum or penis There are many treatments for sexually transmitted infections. Testing is key and treatment should be started as early as possible. ELIGIBILITY The STD Basic Screening Panel is for anyone who is sexually active. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, you can still pass an STD along to another person without knowing. You must be 18 years old or older to purchase. PREPARING FOR YOUR TEST You do not need to do anything special to prepare for the sample collection. Fasting is not required for this test. AFTER THE TEST When your results are ready, we will send them to you in a clear, easy-to-read report. You will have the option to speak with an independent physician to discuss your results. If your results differ from expected ranges, you may receive an alert call to inform you. CONFIRMATION TESTING If initial syphilis or HIV results are abnormal, confirmation testing is performed on the sample you have already provided, as required by standard diagnostic guidelines.

It is not always possible to know if you have an STD because many people do not have symptoms. Testing is the only way to know for sure if you have a sexually transmitted infection. Some of the most common symptoms include: * Burning with urination * Increased urinary frequency * Itching or irritation of the vagina or penis * Discharge from the vagina or penis * Lower abdominal pain * Pain during sexual intercourse * Unusual vaginal bleeding * Pain in the scrotum or penis Can STDs be treated? Disease progression can be slowed with treatment. Remember that you can still pass it to another person even while you are being treated. You should not have sex again until your treatment has been completed. I’m pregnant. Can I pass an STD to my baby? It is possible to pass an STD to your unborn child. The baby could develop health problems and may even be born early. If you are pregnant, it is important to get tested for STDs as soon as possible and contact your OBGYN if you test positive for an STD for next steps. How do I protect myself from getting an STD? The best way to protect yourself is to practice safe sex and to limit the number of sexual partners that you have. Regular testing can help you detect STDs early. How often should I get checked for an STD? Anyone who is sexually active should get tested at least once a year. If you have new or multiple partners, consider getting tested more frequently. Who should get checked for STDs? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) makes the following STD annual screening recommendations, even in the absence of symptoms: Chlamydia and Gonorrhea * Sexually active teenage girls and women (< 25 years old) * Sexually active women (≥ 25 years old) who have sex with more than 1 partner and do not use condoms * Sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) * Men and women who are infected with HIV Syphilis * Pregnant women * Sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) * Men and women who are infected with HIV HIV-1 and HIV-2 * Sexually active men and women (including teenagers) * Pregnant women * Men who have sex with men (MSM) Our references 1.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs. Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments. If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form Screen-reader and keyboard navigation Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements: 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website. These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing the focus to drift outside. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more. 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring options. 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions. 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only. 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly. 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others. 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions. Assistive technology and browser compatibility We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users. Notes, comments, and feedback Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility following technological advancements.
