⭐ What This Test Detects

This package screens for six important infections relevant to PrEP safety and sexual health:
 HIV (Types 1 &  2): A virus that weakens the immune system. You must be HIV-negative to safely
start or continue PrEP. Why it matters: Regular HIV checks confirm eligibility and detect any
changes early.
 Syphilis: A bacterial STI that progresses in stages and can cause serious issues if untreated. Why
it matters: Often asymptomatic; early detection prevents complications and supports PrEP
continuation.

 Chlamydia: A very common bacterial STI, frequently without symptoms. Why it matters:
Untreated cases can lead to fertility issues or higher HIV risk – routine screening protects health.
 Gonorrhea: A bacterial STI affecting genitals, throat, or rectum. Why it matters: Can be silent;
screening helps avoid complications and reduce transmission risks.
 Hepatitis B: A viral liver infection spread via sex or blood. Why it matters: Status guides PrEP
safety, vaccination if needed, and liver health monitoring.
 Hepatitis C: A blood-borne virus that can stay hidden for years. Why it matters: Early awareness
prevents long-term liver damage; useful for overall risk assessment.
This is a screening tool – not diagnostic. Positive results indicate potential infection and require
prompt professional confirmatory testing and care.
⭐ How to Prepare for the Test

• No fasting required.

• For urine or swab tests: Do not urinate for at least 1–2 hours beforehand (use first-catch urine if instructed).

• Avoid using vaginal/rectal products, douching, or having sex for 24–48 hours before swab collection (follow kit specifics).

• Collect samples as directed for best accuracy.
