Order STD TestingSTD testing refers to a group of laboratory methods used to detect specific sexually transmitted infections from a biological sample. Because no single test screens for every infection, the term describes a category of assays rather than one uniform procedure. The exact set of tests performed depends on the panel ordered and the reason for testing.
About STD Testing in Farmington
STD testing is a category of laboratory analysis, not a single assay, and the infections covered vary by panel.
Laboratory testing for sexually transmitted infections typically relies on blood, urine, or swab samples. Blood draws are common for infections such as HIV and syphilis, while urine or swab collection is used for bacterial infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Some panels also include swabs from the throat or rectum when indicated.
The panel ordered determines which organisms are targeted. A basic screen may cover a few common infections, while a comprehensive panel can include additional tests such as hepatitis B and C or trichomoniasis. Each assay has its own detection method, including nucleic acid amplification, antigen detection, or antibody measurement.
Sample collection is performed according to the laboratory's instructions, and the handling of the specimen can affect result quality. Turnaround time is generally one to three business days, though individual assays within a panel may be reported at different times.
