The STD early detection panel checks for common STDs and for HIV-1 RNA.
Test Type: Blood and urine
Test Results: Typically 4 days
Building on the STD test panel, this early detection STD panel adds the HIV-1 RNA test to lab markers tested. This STI early detection panel also required blood and urine specimens.
The seven STD markers tested in both STD test panels check for the most common sexually transmitted infections. This particular STD early detection test panel provides early detection for HIV-1 which, in particular, makes it helpful for people who fear they have been exposed to HIV very recently through sex or a blood exposure. It is reported that HIV-1 can be detected in this panel as early as 6 days after being infected and, with the other STD blood and urine markers tested, this panel offers early, comprehensive testing for people who want peace of mind.
