Why Take This Test?
Use the STD Complete Panel when you need to be completely sure of what you have been exposed to now or in the past. Any risky lifestyle or activities that have increased your risks, even if it was just one time or on vacation, or concerned about what your spouse has done, this will test for a complete list of common and not so common sexually transmitted diseases.
Tests Included:
1. HSV TYPE 1/2, IGM W/RF - aka Herpes
If HSV 1 IgM screen is positive, HSV 1 IgM Titer will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86695).
If HSV 2 IgM Screen is positive, HSV 2 IgM Titer will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86696).
Methodology
Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA)
Clinical Significance
HSV IgM is detectable in serum from >90% of patients with primary HSV infection; However, HSV IgM is also found in 30% of patients with reactivated HSV.
Alternative Name(s)
Herpes Simplex Virus Serum,Herpes 1/2 IgM, Serum
Methodology
Immunoassay (IA)
Reference Range(s)
Non-Reactive
Clinical Significance
HAV antibody indicates prior or acute infection with, or immunization to, Hepatitis A virus.
Alternative Name(s)
HAV Total,HAV Antibody
3. Hep B CORE AB TOTAL
Methodology
Immunoassay (IA)
Limitations
Patients receiving mouse antibody therapy may produce false-negative results. False-positives may be detected shortly after immunization to influenza and with patients with hypergammalobulinemia, positive rheumatoid factor, and connective tissue disorders.
Reference Range(s)
Non-Reactive
Clinical Significance
This assay does not distinguish between Total B core antibody IgG and IgM detected before or at the onset of symptoms; however, such reactivity can persist for years after illness, and may even outlast anti-HBs. Occasionally Hepatitis B core antibody may be the only marker of either current or past Hepatitis B infection.
4. Hep C AB
Includes
If Hepatitis C Antibody is reactive, then Hepatitis C Viral RNA, Quantitative, Real-Time PCR will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 87522).
Limitations
Results obtained from immunosuppressed patients should be interpreted with caution. Patients receiving mouse antibody therapy may produce false-negative results.
Clinical Significance
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a major cause of hepatitis. The clinical symptoms of an HCV infection are variable. Infection with HCV results in a chronic infection in 50 to 80% of cases. The "window" between HCV acquisition and seroreactivity is highly variable; up to six months.
Alternative Name(s)
HCV with Reflex,HCV Antibody,Anti HCV
5. CHLAMYDIA RNA, TMA
Clinical Significance
C. trachomatis infections are the leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases in the united states. C. trachomatis is known to cause cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), epididymitis and proctitis. It is also the most frequent cause of non-gonococcal urethritis in men. Among women, the consequences of chlamydial infections are severe if left untreated. Approximately half of chlamydial infections are asymptomatic.
Alternative Name(s)
CT APTIMA®,Hologic,CT TM
6. SYPHILIS
Includes
If RPR Screen is reactive, RPR titer will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86593).
Limitations
False-positive results have been associated in patients with infections, pregnancy, autoimmune disease, old age, Gaucher disease, and malignancy.
Clinical Significance
This is a non-treponemal screening test for syphilis. False positive results may occur due to systemic lupus erythematosus, leprosy, brucellosis, atypical pneumonia, typhus, yaws, pinta, or pregnancy. Monitoring of RPR is helpful in assessing effectiveness of therapy.
7. HIV 1/2 AG/AB, 4 W/ RFL
Includes
If HIV Antigen and Antibody, 4th Generation Screen is Repeatedly Reactive, HIV-1/2 Antibody Differentiation will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86701, 86702).
If HIV-1/2 Antibody Differentiation is Indeterminate or Negative, HIV-1 RNA, Qualitative, TMA will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 87535).
Reference Range(s)
| HIV Ag/Ab, 4th Generation | Non-Reactive |
Clinical Significance
This 4th generation HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV1/HIV2 infection, including acute or primary HIV-1 infection.
