What are STDs?
Sexually transmitted diseases are infections that are spread primarily through vaginal, anal or oral sex. Some infections can also be transmitted by other routes such as through blood or from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one million people contract an STD every day worldwide. Early detection of these diseases is of utmost importance because, in the long term, they can cause serious complications for the person who suffers from them.
STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites and the most common are chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, HIV and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) infection.
What does the report include?
The study analyzes the most common sexually transmitted diseases to detect the presence of any of them. The diseases analyzed are the following:
- CHLAMYDIA
- GONORRHEA
- GENITAL MYCOPLASM
- HOMINIS MYCOPLASM
- TRICHOMONIASIS
Who is it for?
Since STDs do not always cause symptoms, you and your partner can get or spread an infection even if you appear healthy. Although anyone who is sexually active can contract an STD, this test is recommended primarily for those who fall into one of the following categories:
- Individuals who want to know their current sexual health status and take preventive action against STD transmission.
- All those who have been exposed to a risky contact such as vaginal, anal or oral sexual contact.
- Sexually active men and women who have unprotected sex and are not in monogamous relationships.
- People with HIV, as they are at increased risk of contracting another STD.
- People who use injectable drugs are recommended to be tested regularly.
