STI Test Kit Blood And Urine 6-in-1 Test

STI Test Kit that includ Blood and Urine 6 in 1 kit. An efficient and thorough test to check for the six most prevalent STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and trichomoniasis.

  • HIV - 1 and HIV - 2 antibodies and P24 antige: HIV antibodies are made by the immune system in response to infection with either Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 or 2. P24 antigen is a protein from the core of the HIV virus, it is found during the initial infection with HIV and disappears following seroconversion. This test will look for the presence of HIV antibodies and p24 antigen in the blood and will report whether they are detected or not
  • Syphilis antibodies: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, spread through sexual contact. Which is important to test for and treat as the infection can cause a range of health problems if left untreated. Antibodies are produced by the immune system when there is an infection in the body. Checking for syphilis specific antibodies in the body helps to identify an infection.
  • Infections: 
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen: The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a protein on the surface of the hepatitis B virus, present in the blood during a hepatitis B virus infection. Checking for this surface antigen helps to identify acute and chronic HBV infections. Positive surface antigen meaning the virus is present and that the individual is infectious.
  • C trachomatis PC: Chlamydia which is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the UK, passed on through unprotected sex and can also be passed by a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. Chlamydia doesn't usually cause any symptoms but if left untreated, the bacteria can spread around the body and lead to long-term health problems. This test looks for small amounts of the genetic material (DNA) of Chlamydia trachomatis to help identify a current, active infection. This is a sensitive test that can identify even very small amounts of bacterial DNA.
  • N gonorrhoeae: Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, passed on through unprotected sex. This test looks for small amounts of the genetic material (DNA) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to help identify a current, active infection. This is a sensitive test that can identify even very small amounts of bacterial DNA.
  • NAAT / T vaginalis PCR: Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite. It is the most common protozoan infection in industrialised countries. It is transmitted during unprotected sex and whilst it can cause symptoms such as vaginal discharge and irritation in women it often causes no symptoms, this particularly true in men. This test looks for small amounts of the genetic material (DNA) of Trichomonas vaginalis to help identify a current, active infection. This is a sensitive test that can identify even very small amounts of the parasite's DNA.
