Get Tested in Medi Linx Laboratory
STD LabCheQ of Medi Linx Reference Laboratory Metro Manila, facilitates 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.
