STI Sexual Screening D – 7+ Markers – Urine/PCR Test

Chlamydia or specifically chlamydia infection, is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. The infection is often spread through sexual contact, however, this may not always be the case. It can be caught from the semen or vaginal fluid of an infected person. It can also pass from one infected person to another through genital contact, even if there’s no sex. Pregnant women can give it to their unborn children during delivery.

Gonorrhoea, specifically gonorrhoea infection, is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae or gonococcus. It can infect both males and females.

The infection is often spread through sexual contact, however, this may not always be the case. Gonorrhea can spread during vaginal, oral or anal sex. Babies of infected mothers can be infected during childbirth.

Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that infects the urinary and genital tracts of men and women. MG is spread through unprotected vaginal or anal sex. It’s most common among people who have multiple sexual partners.

If a test shows you do have MG, then your current sexual partners should be tested too, even if they’re not showing symptoms.

Ureaplasma species is a group of bacteria that inhabit the urinary and reproductive tracts in our bodies. It can be transmitted through sexual contact as it can enter the body through either the vagina or urethra and cause sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Trichomonas vaginalis or trich is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Trichomonas vaginalis parasite. The infection is spread through unprotected sexual intercourse.

When trich does cause symptoms, they can range from mild irritation to severe inflammation

Gardnerella vaginalis is a bacteria that coexists alongside other bacteria in the vagina to keep it infection-free. When too much Gardnerella bacteria grows, it can cause an infection called bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is the most common vaginal infection and can be easily treated with antibiotics.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a very contagious virus that causes infections. There are two types of this virus. One type (HSV-1) usually causes sores around the lips or inside the mouth that are sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores. The other type (HSV-2) usually causes sores on the genitals. Either type can infect the mouth, genital area or another part of the body. HSV spreads most easily when a person comes in direct contact with an infected person’s mucous membranes, saliva, or the oozing fluid from a sore. It is important not to kiss or have sex with anyone when herpes sores are present. However, HSV can be spread even when the infected person has no sores or obvious signs of infection.
