STD PROFILE in Secunderabad

Four tests, one sample, one report. Booked together rather than picked off one at a time, which is both cheaper and a lot less faff.

It covers hepatitis screening, herpes screening, sexually transmitted infection screening.

Most STIs Have No Symptoms

That's the whole difficulty. Many sexually transmitted infections stay silent for long stretches and pass on without either person knowing. Left alone, several lead to infertility, chronic pain or long-term organ damage.

Most are straightforward to treat once identified, and some are entirely curable. Testing here is routine healthcare rather than an accusation, and results stay confidential.

What's Included

Blood tests (4)

• RPR test
• TPHA Test
• HBsAg Test
• Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Types 1 and 2 Antibody Test

Before You Book

Sample: Blood. Preparation: No fasting needed. Eat and drink as normal.

Tell the collection team everything you're taking, prescription or not. Plenty of supplements move these numbers, and without that context your report reads wrong.

Reading Your Report

Expect a value or two to sit slightly outside the range. That's normal and usually means nothing on its own. What matters is which one, by how much, and whether it's moving compared with last time.

These tests point at a diagnosis. They don't make one. Read your report with a doctor who knows your history and what you're currently taking.
