About this test

Four common STIs, one visit: this panel checks for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV, using a urine sample and a blood draw. Many STIs can cause no symptoms, so routine testing is common, such as with a new partner. Hold your urine for 1 hour before your visit.

For adults 18 and older. Test availability varies by lab location.

Who should take this test?

For adults who want routine STI testing in one visit, such as with a new partner or before a new relationship, whether or not they have any symptoms now.

What does this test measure?

You get a result for each of the four infections checked, from your urine and blood samples, so you and a healthcare provider can decide on any next steps together.

Infections

Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a common bacterial infection that can pass through sexual contact. It often causes no symptoms, which is why it is commonly checked as routine screening. In this panel it is checked from your urine sample. A urine sample does not check for infection of the throat or rectum.
Why it’s measured: Chlamydia often has no symptoms, so it is a common routine screen.
Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that can pass through sexual contact. It can cause no symptoms, especially in women, and it is often checked together with chlamydia. In this panel it is checked from your urine sample, which does not check for infection of the throat or rectum.
Why it’s measured: Gonorrhea can cause no symptoms and is often checked together with chlamydia.
Syphilis
Syphilis is a bacterial infection that can pass through sexual contact and can cause no symptoms for long periods. It is checked here from your blood sample. Some syphilis antibodies can stay after past treatment, so a reactive result is read with your history and may need more testing.
Why it’s measured: Syphilis can go unnoticed, so blood screening is a common check.
HIV
HIV is a virus that affects the immune system and can cause no symptoms for years. It is checked here from your blood sample. A very recent infection may not show up yet, so a clinician can advise on when to retest. A positive screening result needs follow-up testing before it is interpreted.
Why it’s measured: HIV can cause no symptoms for years, so routine testing is common.

Questions

Common questions.

Anything else, our care team answers by phone, text, or email.

Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV can cause no symptoms, especially early on, so people can have an infection without knowing it. Routine testing, such as with a new partner, is a common way to stay informed. A healthcare provider can advise how often testing makes sense for you.

Timing matters. Infections can take time to show up on a test, so a very recent infection may not appear yet. A clinician can advise when to test and when to retest. If you have symptoms, see a healthcare provider promptly rather than waiting for a test.

It does not check for herpes, HPV, trichomoniasis, or hepatitis, and a urine sample does not cover infections of the throat or rectum. A negative result reflects your samples on the day of testing, not infections too recent to show up. The expanded panel adds trichomoniasis and hepatitis B and C.

Talk with a healthcare provider about any positive result and next steps, including whether partners should be tested. A positive screening result may need a follow-⁠up test. Some positive results are reported to public health authorities, as state law requires.
