Also known as: ChlamydiaNeisseria gonorrhoeae RNA TMA, CT/GC APTIMA®, CT/GC TMA, CT/NG APTIMA®, CT/NG TMA, Hologic

Chlamydia Trachomatis

This test is looking for evidence of infection by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States. About 75% of infected women and 50% of infected men have no symptoms; some may experience only mild symptoms. For women, symptoms, if they occur, include bleeding between menstrual periods and after sexual intercourse, abdominal pain, painful intercourse, and an abnormal vaginal discharge. For men, symptoms include pus or milky discharge from the penis and inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) or of the rectal area (proctitis). Both sexes can experience painful or frequent urination.

Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

The test is looking for presence of the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 700,000 people in the U.S. get new gonorrheal infections each year. While many men with gonorrhea will experience symptoms, most women do not, or will mistake gonorrhea symptoms for a bladder or other vaginal infection. For men, symptoms usually appear within 2 to 5 days of infection but can take up to 30 days. Women who experience symptoms usually do so within 10 days of infection.

Hepatitis B Surface

Also known as: Anti HCV, HCV Antibody

Hepatitis C Antibody

The Hepatitis C Antibody Test, sometimes called the Anti-HCV Test, looks for antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus. Antibodies are chemicals released into the bloodstream when someone gets infected.

Signal To Cut-Off

Also known as: Hsv 12 IgG Herpeselect WRefl Hsv2 Inhibition

Hsv 1 IgG Type Specific

Herpes simplex virus testing is performed to identify an acute herpes infection or to detect herpes antibodies, an indication of a previous exposure to herpes. One of the most common viral infections, herpes simplex virus (HSV) exists as two main types, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both types are contagious and periodically cause small fever blisters (vesicles) that break to form open lesions. HSV-1 primarily causes blisters or "cold sores" around the oral cavity and mouth, while HSV-2 usually causes lesions around the genital area; however, either one can affect the oral or genital area.

Hsv 2 IgG Type Specific

Herpes simplex virus testing is performed to identify an acute herpes infection or to detect herpes antibodies, an indication of a previous exposure to herpes. One of the most common viral infections, herpes simplex virus (HSV) exists as two main types, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both types are contagious and periodically cause small fever blisters (vesicles) that break to form open lesions. HSV-1 primarily causes blisters or "cold sores" around the oral cavity and mouth, while HSV-2 usually causes lesions around the genital area; however, either one can affect the oral or genital area.

Also known as: UA, Complete, Urinalysis UA Complete, Urine Analysis, Complete

Amorphous Sediment (Only Reported If Detected)

Appearance

Bacteria

Bacteria are living things that have only one cell. Most bacteria won't hurt you - less than 1 percent of the different types make people sick. Many are helpful. Some bacteria help to digest food, destroy disease-causing cells, and give the body needed vitamins. But infectious bacteria can make you ill. They reproduce quickly in your body. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile, a fluid made by the liver. A small amount of older red blood cells are replaced by new blood cells every day. Bilirubin is left after these older blood cells are removed. The liver helps break down bilirubin so that it can be removed from the body in the stool.

Calcium Oxalate Crystals (Only Reported If Detected)

Calcium oxalate is a chemical compound that forms envelope-shaped crystals. A major constituent of human kidney stones.

Casts (Only Reported If Detected)

Urinary casts are cylindrical structures produced by the kidney and present in the urine in certain disease states. They form in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts of nephrons, then dislodge and pass into the urine, where they can be detected by microscopy.

Color

Crystals (Only Reported If Detected)

Abnormal crystals may appear in urine as a result of pathology or due to normal catabolism

Glucose

A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood. Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including those in the brain. The hormones insulin and glucagon help control blood glucose levels.

Granular Cast (Only Reported If Detected)

The second-most common type of cast, granular casts can result either from the breakdown of cellular casts or the inclusion of aggregates of plasma proteins (e.g., albumin) or immunoglobulin light chains. Depending on the size of inclusions, they can be classified as fine or coarse, though the distinction has no diagnostic significance. Their appearance is generally more cigar-shaped and of a higher refractive index than hyaline casts. While most often indicative of chronic renal disease, these casts, as with hyaline casts, can also be seen for a short time following strenuous exercise

Hyaline Cast

Urinary casts are tiny tube-shaped particles. Urinary casts may be made up of white blood cells, red blood cells, kidney cells, or substances such as protein or fat. The most common type of cast, hyaline casts are solidified Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein secreted from the tubular epithelial cells of individual nephrons. Low urine flow, concentrated urine, or an acidic environment can contribute to the formation of hyaline casts, and, as such, they may be seen in normal individuals in dehydration or vigorous exercise. Hyaline casts are cylindrical and clear, with a low refractive index,

Ketones

Ketones are substances produced in the liver when fat cells break down in the blood. A serum ketone test is a measurement of how many ketones are in the blood.

Leukocyte Esterase

Leukocyte esterase is a urine test to look for white blood cells and other signs associated with infection.

Nitrite

Occult Blood

The test looks for hidden (occult) blood in a specimen sample. It can find blood even if you cannot see it yourself.

Ph

Level of acid

Protein

Body fluids contain many different proteins that serve diverse functions such as transport of nutrients, removal of toxins, control of metabolic processes, and defense against invaders. Protein electrophoresis is a method for separating these proteins based on their size and electrical charge. When body fluids are separated by electrophoresis, they form a characteristic pattern of bands of different widths and intensities, reflecting the mixture of proteins present. This pattern is divided into five fractions, called albumin, alpha 1, alpha 2, beta, and gamma. In some cases, the beta fraction is further divided into beta 1 and beta 2. Albumin, which is produced in the liver, accounts for about 60% of the protein in the blood. "Globulins" is a collective term used to refer to proteins other than albumin. With the exception of the immunoglobulins and some complement proteins, most of the globulins are also produced in the liver. Immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) is a method used to identify abnormal bands seen on serum, urine, or CSF protein electrophoresis, as to which type of antibody (immunoglobulin) is present.

Rbc

RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen. How much oxygen your body tissues get depends on how many RBCs you have and how well they work.

Reducing Substances (Only Reported If Detected)

Renal Epithelial Cells (Only Reported If Detected)

Specific Gravity

Squamous Epithelial Cells

Transitional Epithelial (Only Reported If Detected)

Triple Phosphate Crystals (Only Reported If Detected)

Struvite stones (triple phosphate/magnesium ammonium phosphate) - about 10–15% of urinary calculi are composed of struvite (ammonium magnesium phosphate, NH4MgPO4·6H2O).[44] Struvite stones (also known as "infection stones", urease or triple-phosphate stones), form most often in the presence of infection by urea-splitting bacteria

Uric Acid Crystals (Only Reported If Detected)

Abnormal crystals may appear in urine as a result of pathology or due to normal catabolism

WBC

WBCs help fight infections. They are also called leukocytes. There are five major types of white blood cells: basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes (T cells and B cells), monocytes and neutrophils

YEAST (Only Reported If Detected)

Candida is the scientific name for yeast. It is a fungus that lives almost everywhere, including in your body. Usually, your immune system keeps yeast under control. If you are sick or taking antibiotics, it can multiply and cause an infection.

The Sexual Health & STI Screening - Advanced Male Lab Panel panel contains 8 tests with 38 biomarkers .

Overview

The Sexual Health & STI Screening - Advanced Male Lab Panel is designed for men who want a broader sexual health and STI screening panel than a basic chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis C, and syphilis screen.

This Advanced Male panel includes testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2, syphilis, and urine health markers. It combines molecular testing, antibody testing, antigen testing, reflex confirmation, and urinalysis to support a provider-guided sexual health review.

Some sexually transmitted infections may not cause symptoms right away, and some may be present without obvious symptoms. Testing can help support timely medical follow-up, treatment discussions, partner notification, and retesting when appropriate.

This panel includes multiple reflex tests. Reflex testing means the laboratory may automatically perform additional testing when an initial result meets specific criteria. When reflex testing is performed, additional charges may apply.

Why Order This Panel?

The Sexual Health & STI Screening - Advanced Male Lab Panel may be helpful for men who want expanded STI screening after a new partner, possible exposure, routine sexual health testing, symptoms, or before beginning a new relationship.

This panel may help provide insight into:

  • Chlamydia infection
  • Gonorrhea infection
  • Hepatitis B exposure, immunity, or possible active infection patterns
  • Hepatitis C antibody status and reflex RNA confirmation when indicated
  • HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG antibody patterns
  • Syphilis screening with reflex titer and confirmatory testing when indicated
  • Urinalysis findings related to urine health, blood, protein, glucose, ketones, or urinary abnormalities
  • Provider-guided follow-up needs when results are positive, reactive, abnormal, or indeterminate

This Panel May Be Helpful For Men Who

  • Want a broader STI screening panel
  • Have had a new sexual partner
  • Want screening before a new relationship
  • Have possible STI exposure
  • Have symptoms such as burning with urination, discharge, genital irritation, sores, testicular discomfort, pelvic discomfort, or urinary changes
  • Want testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, and syphilis
  • Want urine health screening included with STI testing
  • Prefer broader coverage than the Essential panel but do not need the full Comprehensive panel

What This Panel Helps Evaluate

This panel helps evaluate selected infection markers and urine markers related to:

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhea
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen
  • Hepatitis B surface antibody
  • Hepatitis B core antibody
  • Hepatitis B core IgM reflex when indicated
  • Hepatitis C antibody
  • Hepatitis C RNA reflex confirmation when indicated
  • HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG antibodies
  • HSV-2 inhibition reflex testing when indicated
  • Syphilis screening with RPR
  • Syphilis titer and confirmatory testing when indicated

Which Tier Is Right for Me?

Essential Lab Panel

The Sexual Health & STI Screening - Essential Lab Panel is best for people who want a focused first-step STI screen. It includes testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis C, and syphilis.

Choose Essential if you want a smaller STI panel that covers several common and important infections.

Advanced Male Lab Panel

The Sexual Health & STI Screening - Advanced Male Lab Panel is best for men who want broader STI screening. It adds hepatitis B markers, HSV-1/2 antibody testing, and urinalysis to the core STI screening foundation.

Choose Advanced Male if you want expanded infectious disease and urine health screening without ordering the broadest Comprehensive panel.

Comprehensive Lab Panel

The Sexual Health & STI Screening - Comprehensive Lab Panel is the broadest option. It may include expanded STI, viral hepatitis, blood health, urine health, and additional wellness markers depending on the panel configuration.

Choose Comprehensive if you want the widest sexual health and STI screening review.

Female Add-On Panel

A Sexual Health & STI Screening - Female Add-On Panel may be considered for women who also want testing related to vaginal infections such as trichomonas, bacterial vaginosis, vaginitis, or mycoplasma/ureaplasma, depending on the panel design.

Tests Included and Why They Matter

Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Molecular Testing

Chlamydia and gonorrhea are common bacterial sexually transmitted infections. They may cause symptoms such as burning with urination, discharge, pelvic discomfort, testicular discomfort, or genital irritation, but they can also be present without obvious symptoms. Molecular testing helps detect genetic material from these organisms and is commonly used for STI screening.

Chlamydia/Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA, TMA

This test uses transcription-mediated amplification, or TMA, to detect RNA from Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

This test is included because chlamydia and gonorrhea are among the most common sexually transmitted infections screened in men. Early detection supports provider-guided treatment, partner notification, and follow-up when needed.

A positive result should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider for treatment guidance and discussion of partner notification and retesting recommendations.

Hepatitis B Screening, Exposure and Immunity Markers

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can affect the liver and may be transmitted through blood, sexual contact, or other body-fluid exposure. This panel includes multiple hepatitis B markers because no single hepatitis B test tells the entire story. Together, these markers may help distinguish patterns related to immunity, past exposure, possible current infection, or follow-up needs.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen with Reflex Confirmation

Hepatitis B surface antigen, often called HBsAg, is included because it may help identify possible current hepatitis B infection.

If the surface antigen is reactive, the laboratory may perform confirmatory testing based on reflex rules. This helps support a more complete provider-guided interpretation.

Reflex Test Notice: If reflex confirmation is performed, additional charges may apply.

Hepatitis B Surface Antibody, Quantitative

Hepatitis B surface antibody, often called anti-HBs, is included because it may provide context for hepatitis B immunity.

This marker may be positive after vaccination or recovery from past infection. A quantitative result may help support provider-guided review of whether hepatitis B immune protection is present.

Hepatitis B Core Antibody, Total, with Reflex to IgM

Hepatitis B core antibody, often called anti-HBc, is included because it may provide context for past or current hepatitis B exposure.

If the total core antibody result meets reflex criteria, the lab may perform hepatitis B core IgM testing. IgM testing may help provide additional context for recent or acute infection patterns when appropriate.

Reflex Test Notice: If reflex IgM testing is performed, additional charges may apply.

Hepatitis C Screening and Reflex Confirmation

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that can affect the liver. Some people do not know they have been exposed because symptoms may be absent or mild. This panel includes hepatitis C antibody testing with reflex RNA confirmation when indicated.

Hepatitis C AB with Reflex to HCV RNA, QN, PCR

This test begins with a hepatitis C antibody screen. If the antibody result meets reflex criteria, the lab may automatically perform HCV RNA quantitative PCR testing to evaluate whether hepatitis C viral RNA is detected.

This test is included because antibody testing can help identify possible past or current exposure to hepatitis C, while reflex RNA testing can help clarify whether active viral infection may be present.

Reflex Test Notice: If reflex HCV RNA testing is performed, additional charges may apply.

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2 Antibody Testing

Herpes simplex virus, or HSV, includes HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is often associated with oral herpes but can also involve the genital area. HSV-2 is more commonly associated with genital herpes. Some people have symptoms, while others may have mild or unrecognized infections.

HSV 1/2 IgG, HerpeSelect with Reflex HSV-2 Inhibition

This test evaluates IgG antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2. IgG antibodies may provide context for prior exposure to herpes simplex virus.

This test is included because some people want HSV status as part of a broader sexual health review, especially before a new relationship, after a possible exposure, or when symptoms such as genital sores, irritation, burning, or recurrent outbreaks are present.

When HSV-2 results meet reflex criteria, an HSV-2 inhibition test may be performed to help clarify certain result patterns.

Reflex Test Notice: If reflex HSV-2 inhibition testing is performed, additional charges may apply.

Important interpretation note: HSV blood testing shows antibody patterns and does not always identify the timing or location of infection. Results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider.

Syphilis Screening and Reflex Confirmation

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can progress through stages and may cause a wide range of symptoms. Some people may not have obvious symptoms. Screening can help identify possible infection and support provider-guided follow-up.

RPR, Diagnosis, with Reflex to Titer and Confirmatory Testing

RPR is a blood test used as part of syphilis screening. If the RPR result meets reflex criteria, the laboratory may perform a titer and confirmatory testing.

This test is included because syphilis can sometimes be present without obvious symptoms, and RPR testing can support provider-guided evaluation and treatment decisions when results are reactive.

Reflex Test Notice: If reflex titer and confirmatory testing are performed, additional charges may apply.

Urine Health and Urinary Findings

Urinary symptoms can overlap with STI-related symptoms. Urinalysis does not diagnose chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis, herpes, or syphilis, but it may provide useful context for urine health, hydration, blood, protein, glucose, ketones, and other urinary findings.

Urinalysis, UA, Complete

A complete urinalysis evaluates urine markers such as protein, blood, glucose, ketones, specific gravity, pH, and other microscopic or chemical findings.

This test is included because urinary changes may occur for many reasons. In a male sexual health panel, urinalysis may provide additional context when symptoms include burning, urinary frequency, urgency, discomfort, cloudy urine, blood in urine, or other urine-related concerns.

Abnormal urinalysis findings should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider because follow-up testing, such as urine culture or additional evaluation, may be appropriate.

Professional Reflex Testing Notice

Some tests in this panel include reflex testing. Reflex testing means the laboratory may automatically run additional tests when an initial result meets specific criteria.

This panel includes reflex testing for:

  • Hepatitis B Core Antibody, Total, with Reflex to IgM
  • Hepatitis B Surface Antigen with Reflex Confirmation
  • Hepatitis C AB with Reflex to HCV RNA, QN, PCR
  • HSV 1/2 IgG, HerpeSelect with Reflex HSV-2 Inhibition
  • RPR with Reflex to Titer and Confirmatory Testing

When reflex testing is performed, additional charges may apply. Reflex results can provide important follow-up information, but they should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider.

Related Biomarker Patterns This Panel May Help Identify

This panel may help identify or support provider-guided review of:

  • Chlamydia infection
  • Gonorrhea infection
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen reactivity
  • Hepatitis B immunity patterns
  • Hepatitis B past or current exposure patterns
  • Hepatitis B core IgM reflex patterns when indicated
  • Hepatitis C antibody reactivity
  • Hepatitis C RNA detection when reflex testing is performed
  • HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG antibody patterns
  • HSV-2 inhibition reflex patterns when indicated
  • Syphilis screening patterns
  • Syphilis titer and confirmatory patterns when reflex testing is performed
  • Urinalysis findings that may need follow-up
  • Partner notification and retesting discussions when appropriate

Professional Safety and Interpretation Notice

This panel is designed to support sexual health and STI screening in men. It does not diagnose every sexually transmitted infection and does not replace evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider.

A negative result does not always rule out recent exposure, especially if testing occurs too soon after possible exposure. Some infections have window periods before they can be detected. Positive, reactive, indeterminate, or abnormal results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider for diagnosis, treatment, confirmatory testing, partner notification, retesting recommendations, and follow-up care.

Do not delay medical care if symptoms are present.

How to Prepare for This Panel

Preparation may vary depending on the test and specimen type. In general:

  • Follow all specimen collection instructions carefully.
  • Bring a valid ID to the collection site.
  • For urine-based STI testing, follow the lab’s urine collection instructions.
  • Avoid urinating shortly before urine collection if instructed by the lab.
  • Bring a list of symptoms, exposure timing, medications, recent antibiotics, vaccination history, prior STI history, and partner exposure concerns to discuss with a healthcare provider.
  • If testing after a recent exposure, ask a healthcare provider whether repeat testing may be needed due to window periods.

What Happens After You Receive Your Results?

After results are available, a licensed healthcare provider can help interpret what the results may mean and whether treatment, confirmatory testing, partner notification, additional testing, vaccination review, or retesting is recommended.

If chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis, or urinalysis results are positive, reactive, abnormal, or unclear, follow-up care is important. Customers should avoid relying on lab results alone without provider interpretation.
