HIV & STI screening packages

HIV and STI screening packages typically include tests for a variety of common sexually transmitted infections, such as:

1. HIV: A blood test to detect the presence of HIV antibodies or antigens.
2. Chlamydia: A test to detect the bacterial infection that often shows no symptoms.
3. Gonorrhea: A test for the bacterial infection that can cause painful symptoms and long-term health problems if untreated.
4. Syphilis: A blood test to check for syphilis, which can lead to severe complications if left untreated.
5. Hepatitis B and C: Tests to detect these viral infections that can damage the liver.
6. Herpes: A test for herpes simplex virus (HSV), which can cause sores and outbreaks.
7. Depending on the package, other tests such as HPV (human papillomavirus) or trichomoniasis may also be included.
   

Choosing an HIV and STI screening package offers several advantages:

• Comprehensive Testing: These packages allow you to get tested for multiple infections in one visit, saving time and effort.
