Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are common infections that spread from person to person during sexual activity and skin-to-skin contact. People with STDs may not have any signs or symptoms, but could be infected and may pass the infection to others. If you’re sexually active and have unprotected sex, it’s important to screen for STIs/STDs, so you can stay informed about your sexual health. This panel screens for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, trichomoniasis, syphilis, HIV-1, and HIV-2.
