    What is a STD Test Package - Essential ?

    The STD Test Package - Essential at Orange Health Labs is designed to provide a comprehensive screening for some of the most common and serious sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). STDs are infections primarily spread through sexual contact (through blood or body fluids). These infections can be caused by parasites or bacteria. Some STDs can also be transmitted through close personal contact, such as from mother to child during pregnancy. Millions of people are affected by them each year, particularly teens and young adults aged 15-24. Common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, HIV, HBV and HPV.

    Untreated STDs can lead to severe health issues such as brain damage, infertility, birth defects, and even death. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing these complications.

    Getting an STD Test Package Essential at home is a vital tool for sexually active individuals, helping to ensure early detection and management of STDs.

    STD Test Package - Essential Parameters

    HBsAg (ECLIA)

    This test uses Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) to detect the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). It is a highly sensitive and accurate method used to diagnose active Hepatitis B virus infection.

    VDRL Qualitative

    The VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) test is a blood test for syphilis that was developed by the eponymous lab. The test doesn't look for the bacterium that causes syphilis, but rather for antibodies that are often present in people who have the disease.

    Hepatitis C Virus antibodies (Anti HCV) - Total

    This test looks for antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus (Anti HCV) in the blood, indicating a past or present infection. It does not differentiate between an active or previous infection.

    HIV 1&2 (ECLIA)

    This test uses Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) to detect antibodies and antigens associated with HIV-1 and HIV-2. It is a highly sensitive and specific method used to diagnose HIV infection.
