HIV: Combo Ac. 1+2 / Ag. P24This combo of two types of antibodies (according to the two types of HIV) and the P24 antigen is the most comprehensive test to rule out possible HIV infection after the window period (the time from infection with the HIV virus until antibodies and antigens are detected in the blood).
Hepatitis B surface antigenBy determining the hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg), we can detect the presence of the hepatitis B virus in the body. When a person is infected with the hepatitis B virus, HBsAg is produced in large quantities in the blood and is detected by specific serological tests. The presence of HBsAg in the blood indicates active hepatitis B virus infection. It is important to note that the detection of HBsAg does not necessarily indicate the presence of symptoms or active disease. Many people can be infected with hepatitis B virus without symptoms and without liver damage. However, early detection of HBsAg is important for the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatitis B virus infection and for taking preventive measures to prevent transmission to others.
Total antibodies Hepatitis CHCV antibody testing is used to identify whether you have ever been exposed to the virus. Note that HCV antibody levels do not always indicate active HCV infection. Some people may have cleared the virus naturally, while others may have chronic HCV infection, which means that the virus has been present in their body for more than six months. To confirm active HCV infection, additional tests are needed, such as the HCV viral load test, which measures the amount of virus in the blood.
Syphilis: Anti-Treponema antibodiesThese are antibodies that are developed to specifically fight the T.pallidum bacterium, which causes syphilis.
Syphilis: Non-treponemal antibodiesNon-treponemal antibody levels correlate with the stage of the disease, which means that they can be used to assess treatment progress.
ChlamydiaIt is one of the most common STIs worldwide, affecting both men and women. It is important to get treatment for chlamydia as soon as possible, as the infection can cause serious complications if left untreated, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility and chronic pelvic pain.
GonococcusAs one of the most common STIs, testing for gonorrhoea is commonly included in STI screening.
TrichomonasAs one of the most common STIs, trichonoma testing is commonly included in STI screening.
Mycoplasma genitalumMycoplasma infections are quite common in the general population, especially in sexually active people.
Mycoplasma hominisMycoplasma infections are quite common in the general population, especially in sexually active people.
Ureaplasma urealyticumInfections caused by Ureaplasma are quite common in the general population, especially in sexually active people.
Ureaplasma parvumInfections caused by Ureaplasma are quite common in the general population, especially in sexually active people.
