STD 14 Panel (Real-Time PCR)

An advanced multiplex real-time PCR molecular diagnostic panel designed to detect and differentiate 14 key bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoan pathogens responsible for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), genital ulcer disease, and dysbiosis—all performed seamlessly from the comfort of your home.

Overview Highlights

• 14 Targeted Sexually Transmitted, Fungal & Dysbiosis Pathogens Screened
• At-Home Sample Collection (Urine / Genital Swab)
• Licensed Nurses & Accredited Lab Partners
• No Fasting Required
• Results Delivered Within 24–48 Hours

What Is Measured

Related Symptoms

• Abnormal vaginal or urethral discharge (atypical color, odor, or texture)
• Dysuria (burning/stinging during urination), pelvic discomfort, or pain during intercourse
• Genital sores, blisters, ulcers, redness, or persistent itching

Clinical Indications & Benefits

• Employs high-sensitivity real-time PCR DNA amplification to identify co-infections and fastidious organisms missed by traditional cultures
• Differentiates primary bacterial STIs from azole-resistant fungal species (Candida glabrata/krusei) and bacterial vaginosis drivers (Gardnerella)
• Guides targeted antimicrobial or antiviral management to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), recurrent urethritis, and chronic genital discomfort

Patient Preparation

• No fasting required
• For First-Catch Urine: Do not urinate for at least 1–2 hours prior to collection; collect the initial 20–30 mL stream
• For Swab Collection: Avoid vaginal douching, spermicides, or topical intravaginal/genital medications for 24 hours prior to sample collection
