STD Profile Test - Basic Screening in Indore

What Does an STD Profile Test Measure in Indore?

The STD Profile Test measures selected infection markers and antibodies linked to sexually transmitted infections.

This test may help assess:

• HIV-DUO (IV th Generation test): Screens for HIV p24 antigen and antibodies to HIV type 1 and type 2
• Syphilis Antibodies (Treponema): Detects antibodies against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis
• TPHA: Supports syphilis evaluation by detecting treponemal antibodies
• RPR: Helps assess syphilis infection activity and may support follow-up when interpreted by your doctor
• HSV-1&2 IgM antibody: Helps assess recent immune response to herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2
• Chlamydia Trachomatis-IgA: Helps assess recent or active immune response to Chlamydia trachomatis infection

Your doctor will interpret each result along with your symptoms, exposure history, examination findings and any additional tests advised.

Who Should Consider an STD Profile Test?

You may consider an STD Profile Test if you want a basic sexual health screening or if your doctor suspects a sexually transmitted infection.

This test may be considered for:

• People with burning urination, genital sores, genital discharge, pelvic pain, testicular pain, or lower abdominal pain
• People with a recent unprotected sexual encounter or possible exposure
• People whose partner has tested positive for a sexually transmitted infection
• People with multiple sexual partners or a new sexual partner
• People planning pregnancy or undergoing reproductive health evaluation
• People who want confidential screening for common sexually transmitted infections
• People advised by a doctor to check for bacterial or viral STDs

What Is the Purpose of an STD Profile Test?

The purpose of an STD Profile Test is to screen for selected sexually transmitted infections using a serum sample. It helps your doctor identify possible infections, advise confirmatory testing where needed and plan the right treatment or follow-up.

This test is a screening profile. Some results may require repeat testing, molecular testing, partner testing, or confirmatory tests depending on your clinical history and the timing of exposure.

• No fasting required: You can eat and drink normally before the test.
• Clinical history required: Inform your doctor about symptoms such as discharge, sores, burning urination, pelvic pain, fever, rash, or recent exposure.
