FAST-STI
STI Panel
Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) testing by molecular technique
In both sexes, up to 70% of those infected with sexually transmitted infections or disease (STI) can remain asymptomatic for a varying period of time. STIs are the most common cause of illness worldwide. If a patient is sexually active, getting tested for STIs is critical to protecting their health.
We use quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to identify bacteria and viruses that cause sexually transmitted diseases with over 95% accuracy. Within 24-48 hours, we can provide a more definitive diagnosis and detect the presence of polymicrobial infections so clinicians can plan an individualized treatment protocol.
