Oral STD Panel

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are also known as sexually transmitted infections (STI). This refers to a group of infections that can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact, which can include both oral contact and genital contact.

STDs are common, and it is possible to have an STD and not realize it. Symptoms of STDs can vary- some people might experience significant symptoms, and others might not have any symptoms at all. Even if people do not feel any symptoms, they can still spread STDs. This is why STD testing is so important.

Typically, STD testing is done with urine samples, blood samples, or genital swabs. Although these are very useful tests, they will not tell you if you have an STD in the oral cavity.

Any Lab Test Now’s Oral STD Panel can be ordered on its own, or in addition to one of our other full STD panels. The Oral STD Panel includes testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis (Treponema pallidum), herpes simplex virus I and II, trichomoniasis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Ureaplasma urealyticum in the oral cavity.

To test for oral STDs, all it takes is a quick and easy saliva sample. This, along with “standard” STD testing, will give you a much more comprehensive picture of your STD/STI status.

Herpes 1 and 2

Learn more

Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, or HSV. There are two types of HSV- HSV 1 and HSV 2.

HSV 1 typically causes oral herpes, which can result in sores on/around your mouth. These are sometimes called cold sores or fever blisters. Many people with oral herpes get it early in life through non-sexual contact with saliva.

HSV 2 is usually the cause of genital herpes, which is an STI (sexually transmitted infection). This can result in sores on the genitals. Some cases of genital herpes can also be caused by HSV 1.

Many people with herpes show little to no symptoms, so the best way to know if you have it is by testing for it. This test can tell you if you have HSV 1 or HSV 2. There is no cure for herpes, but outbreaks can be managed with medications.

HIV

Learn more

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease (that can be spread outside of sexual contact) known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It is the virus that causes AIDS. This condition damages your immune system and can lead to serious illness, infections and many other symptoms.

There are two parts to the HIV Test at ANY LAB TEST NOW®.

1. The first part is an initial blood screen. A negative result means there are no HIV antibodies and p24 antigen in your blood.

2. If the screen is positive, the lab will run a confirmation test called an HIV 1 / 2 Antibody differentiation test. This confirmation test will determine an HIV-1 or HIV-2 virus.

Syphilis

Learn more

The Syphilis Test detects antibodies to the bacterium that cause the disease in blood, body fluid or tissue. It will tell you if you’re infected or not.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be spread through kissing, oral sex and sexual intercourse.

Chlamydia

Learn more

Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD (sexually transmitted disease) in the United States. It is treatable with antibiotics, but if left untreated, it can cause serious issues, including pelvic inflammatory disease.

Chlamydia often has minimal or no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they can include: abnormal vaginal or penile discharge, burning with urination, abdominal or pelvic pain, and more. Because chlamydia often does not show symptoms, the best way to know if you have it is to test for it. Furthermore, chlamydia symptoms can be similar to symptoms of other STDs, so you may want to consider the Comprehensive STD Panel- this includes testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.

Gonorrhea

Learn more

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium that can cause numerous reproductive and health issues if left untreated. It’s a serious disease that often has minimal or no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, some include a discharge and painful urination. These symptoms are very similar to Chlamydia, so you might want to consider the Comprehensive STD Panel ‐ it tests for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, as well as several others.

Hepatitis C

Learn more

There are several types of hepatitis – each caused by a different hepatitis virus. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be contracted through unprotected sex, using contaminated needles, or other causes. The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Test only tests for Hepatitis C (You may want to consider the Hepatitis Panel, also available).

Hepatitis B (STD)

Learn more

You should be tested for Hepatitis B if you have symptoms of an infection or have been exposed to the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). If you have chronic liver disease, you should also be tested. You may want to consider the Hepatitis Panel, which tests for a variety of the most common variations of hepatitis.
