STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) LabCheQ

According to the latest estimates of UNAIDS in 2023, data included in the 2024 Global AIDS Report, 29,000 people in the Philippines were newly infected with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

With STD LabCheQ, we make it very easy for you to achieve the testing and answers which will help protect you as well as your loved ones.

Why You Should Get Tested for STDs

The primary reason you need to get an STD test is because sexually transmitted diseases can bring grave long-term effects to your health. There are some alarming diseases due to STDs:

Gonorrhea and Syphilis

They can cause soreness or pain but cannot be noticed until too late.

Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis

They may never feel any symptoms but might eventually affect your reproductive system.

Only through testing can you be assured, for instance, if you should visit an appropriate provider due to any abnormalities found in your results.

Get Tested in Medi Linx Laboratory

STD LabCheQ of Medi Linx Reference Laboratory Metro Manila, facilitates such tests discreetly so you can make better judgments about your health. To diagnose sexually transmitted diseases, we have a few critical laboratory tests in a package for you:

• Complete Blood Count: It measures active infections in your body as manifestations of an STD.
• Urinalysis: Via this urine test, your medical care provider can determine the presence of infection.
• HIV Screening: It detects early stages, even before signs and symptoms appear.
• Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg): This indicates whether you are positive for the virus now.
• Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR)—Qualitative: It is a test to detect syphilis or the STD bacteria in your blood.

Prevention Measures

Some precautions you may take to avoid sexually transmitted diseases:

• Avoid Unprotected Sex: Practice safe sex using condoms always, be it even with your long-time mate.
• Get Tested Frequently: Getting tested will assist the patient in an early stage before it causes permanent damage.
• Vaccination: Vaccines may prevent the spread of STDs, such as the HPV vaccine that protects against genital warts and, in most cases, cervical cancer.

FAQs

How would you know that you have an STD?

The only sure way of knowing whether or not you have an STD is if you do the test in the lab since most of the STDs are asymptomatic.

How soon can an STD be contagious?

Most STDs can be transmitted when the symptom starts to show or even before it manifests at all; hence, frequent testing is necessary.
