What the basic STI panel checks
A panel of the four most common screening tests for sexually spread infections, done with one urine sample and one blood draw.
What it checks
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and syphilis.
How it works
A urine sample and a small blood sample are given at a lab. It does not check the throat or rectum.
Good to know
Results are private. A positive screen is always confirmed with a second test before anything is decided. Fever with belly or pelvic pain, or pain or swelling in a testicle, needs same-day care, not just a test.
