Service Description

Collection Method: Blood Draw and Urine Collection Chlamydia/Neisseria gonorrhea RNA, TMA: This test employs transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) to detect the RNA of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea, pathogens responsible for chlamydia and gonorrhea infections respectively. Both are common bacterial STDs that can lead to serious reproductive health issues if left untreated. Herpes Simplex Virus 1/2 IgG Type Specific Antibodies: This test identifies antibodies the body produces in response to Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Specifically, it differentiates between HSV-1, primarily causing oral herpes, and HSV-2, responsible for genital herpes. RPR with Reflex to Titer: Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) is a screening test for syphilis. If the RPR test is reactive, a "reflex to titer" is performed to measure the amount of reagin in the blood, providing an indication of the disease's activity.
