The STD Panel (Sexually Transmitted Diseases Panel) is a group of blood tests used to check for common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like HIV, herpes, syphilis, and chlamydia. It is mainly advised for people who show symptoms of STDs or are at a higher risk of getting them. This test is also useful as part of premarital health checkups. You can book this test at an affordable price with Tata 1mg Labs in Bangalore Rural.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) suggests annual screening of STD in individuals with high risk factors. These may include individuals with multiple sexual partners, individuals in same-sex relationships, or those who share needles frequently. Early screening and timely treatment can help prevent the spread of these diseases.
No special preparation is needed before this test. You can eat and drink normally. However, you will need to fill out a consent form before giving your sample.
Understanding STD Panel (Sexually Transmitted Diseases Panel)
STDs, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are spread through sexual contact across all age groups. STDs are most often caused by parasites, viruses, and bacteria and can be transmitted through the blood, semen, vaginal discharge and other fluids. A few STDs may be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, at birth, and through breastfeeding.
According to WHO, more than 1 million sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are acquired daily worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic. That is why STDs may go unnoticed until a person has complications or a partner is diagnosed. If someone develops symptoms, they may include:
- Bumps, sores, or warts on genital skin, anal area, and mouth
- Swelling or itching in the private parts
- abnormal genital (penis or vagina) discharge characterized by an unpleasant odor or bloody
- Painful intercourse
- Frequent or painful urination
- General symptoms like skin rash, weight loss, night sweats, aches, pain, fever, or chills
The STD Panel is also recommended as premarital screening of individuals for possible infections. Yearly screening is recommended by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) for those with high risk for STDs, such as those with HIV-positive sexual partners, homosexual individuals, multiple sex partners, those sharing syringes, needles, or drug-injecting tools, etc. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can reduce the risk of catching an STD.
Typically, there is no prior preparation needed for an STD Panel. Eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, a duly filled consent form is necessary for sample collection.
A positive test result may indicate the presence of a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and it's important to discuss the findings with a doctor promptly. Regular testing is key to managing sexual health and preventing further transmission. If you are experiencing symptoms or have concerns about STDs, speak with your doctor to see if this panel is suitable for you.
Lifestyle Tips to Prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs):
🧼 Hygiene: Maintain personal hygiene and urinate after intercourse to help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
🎓Educate Yourself: Learn about STDs, how they spread, and their impact on health. Awareness is the first step toward prevention.
🧍♀️Avoid Risky Behavior: Restrict multiple partners, have protected intercourse, and never share needles or intimate items.
🛡️ Learn Safe Practices: Understand how STDs are transmitted and the best ways to protect yourself. Knowledge and safe practices are your first line of defense.
🕒 Timely screening: Have regular STD tests, particularly if you have new/multiple sex partners. Early diagnosis avoids complications.
⚠️ Habits (Drugs and Alcohol): Refrain from drugs or heavy drinking since such habits can impair judgment and result in poor decision-making.
What does STD Panel (Sexually Transmitted Diseases Panel) measure?
Contains 6 testsThe STD Panel is designed to check for the following infections:
- Chlamydia: Chlamydia Trachomatis IgG test
- Syphilis: VDRL, PR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) and Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination (TPHA) test
- HIV: HIV Combo (Antigen And Antibody) test
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2 IgM Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2 IgG test
People who have unprotected sex, multiple partners, or share drug-injecting equipment may be at higher risk of getting an STD. If detected early, these infections can be treated effectively. This panel is also helpful for those planning to get married, as it helps detect hidden infections and prevents future complications.
The Chlamydia Trachomatis, IgG test analyzes the levels of chlamydia antibodies IgG in the blood. The IgG antibody detection is a marker for a chlamydia-positive immune response, either for ongoing (chronic) or past infections. IgG antibodies against chlamydia trachomatis can be detected within 2-4 weeks after exposure and remain detectable even after the person has been treated successfully. However, abnormal results do not confirm an active infection, as IgG antibodies can persist even after successful treatment.

The RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) test looks for antibodies (specific proteins) that react to syphilis in the blood. This means the test doesn't find the actual bacteria that cause syphilis. Instead, it looks for antibodies against substances given off by cells that have been harmed by the bacteria. Antibodies are a specific type of protein produced by your immune system to fight off any invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins. Detecting these antibodies can help your doctors know if you have syphilis. Untreated syphilis can spread to your eyes, blood vessels, heart, and brain. But it can be easily cured if treated in the early stages.

A Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test analyzes the presence of antibodies in the blood that are specifically directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacteria that causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The presence of Treponema pallidum antibodies indicates that the individual has been exposed to the bacterium, either recently or in the past. Detecting these antibodies can help your doctors know if you have syphilis. Untreated syphilis can spread to your eyes, blood vessels, heart, and brain. A Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test can help in early diagnosis and ensure prompt treatment to prevent complications from syphilis.

An HIV Combo (Antigen And Antibody) Test simultaneously detects HIV p24 antigen and antibodies associated with HIV 1 & 2. The HIV p24 antigen is the most abundant HIV protein. Its detection is used clinically to diagnose an HIV infection early on since HIV-specific antibodies are not detectable in a very recently acquired infection.
HIV-1 was discovered first and is the most widespread. HIV-2 is more than 55% genetically different from HIV-1. The transmission rate of HIV-2 is also slower than HIV-1.

The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2, IgM test is designed to detect IgM antibodies that are produced as a body's first response to a HSV infection. IgM antibodies may take up to 10 days to develop. Also, these antibodies are usually present in higher concentrations shortly after an infection and eventually decrease after a time period (7-10 days). Therefore, the presence of HSV-1 or HSV-2 IgM antibodies typically suggests a recent infection.
Early detection allows doctors to detect symptoms quickly and provide necessary medical interventions to individuals suffering from HSV infection, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.

The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2, IgG test determines the presence of IgG antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2 in response to the Herpes infection. Your body begins to make two relevant types of HSV-1 antibody or HSV-2 antibody around 18 to 21 days after you are exposed to the virus and remains in the body for life. The presence of IgG antibodies generally indicates past exposure and immunity against Herpes infection.
