About STD Testing in Tulare
An STD profile groups several laboratory tests that detect common sexually transmitted infections from a single sample or a small set of samples.
Panels commonly include tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea, often using nucleic acid amplification on a urine sample or a swab. Blood-based assays are typically used for syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B or C, depending on the panel. Some profiles also include trichomonas testing.
Collection depends on which organisms are being detected. Urine collection is non-invasive and is frequently used for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Blood draws are needed for syphilis, HIV, and viral hepatitis. Swabs may be collected from the throat, rectum, or genital area when a clinician determines that site-specific testing is appropriate.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though the time can vary by the individual assay and the laboratory performing the analysis. A positive result identifies an infection that may require treatment or follow-up testing, while a negative result indicates that the organism was not detected in the sample at the time of collection.
