28 Parameters
A specialized panel combining Candida variations, Atopobium Vaginae, Cytomegalovirus, bacterial vaginosis-associated markers (BVAB2, Bacteroides Fragilis, Mobiluncus spp., Megasphaera Type 1), and viruses like VZV and Lymphogranuloma Venereum, addressing both common and less frequent infections.

List Of Options

The 28-Pathogen STD/STI Test Panel is an advanced and comprehensive screening designed to detect a wide range of sexually transmitted, vaginal, and genital infections. This panel covers bacterial, viral, and yeast-related conditions, helping identify both common and less-recognized causes of symptoms and infections.

The panel includes testing for:

  • Multiple Candida (yeast) species, which can cause recurrent or resistant yeast infections
  • Bacterial vaginosis–related organisms, including Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, BVAB2, Mobiluncus, Megasphaera, and Bacteroides fragilis
  • Sexually transmitted bacteria, such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Syphilis, Chancroid, and Lymphogranuloma venereum
  • Viral infections, including Herpes Simplex Virus Types I & II, Cytomegalovirus, and Varicella-Zoster Virus
  • Protective vaginal bacteria, such as Lactobacillus species, to help assess vaginal health balance

This panel is ideal for individuals seeking a thorough sexual and vaginal health evaluation, especially those with persistent symptoms, recurrent infections, or those who want the most comprehensive testing available.

essential sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections
1
A marker for bacterial vaginosis and imbalanced vaginal flora.

Screens for antibodies linked to Treponema Pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis.
8
Identifies infections caused by HSV-1 (oral herpes) and HSV-2 (genital herpes).
9
Mobiluncus spp. are isolated from 97% of women with bacterial vaginosis (non-specific vaginitis) and is rarely found in the vagina of healthy women.
10
Megasphaera type 1 (MP1) is a bacterial phylotype strongly associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and is a key marker in molecular BV diagnostic tests.

A key bacterium associated with bacterial vaginosis.
13
Identifies trichomoniasis, a parasitic STI often causing vaginal or urethral irritation.
14
Detects a common bacterial STI that can cause infertility if untreated.
15
Identifies chancroid, a rare bacterial STI marked by genital ulcers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does the 28-Pathogen STD/STI Test Panel screen for?

This panel tests for 28 different infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), yeast infections, and bacterial vaginosis–related organisms. It covers common conditions like chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis, as well as less commonly tested organisms that may cause persistent or recurring symptoms.

Who should consider the 28-pathogen panel?

This panel is ideal for individuals experiencing ongoing or unexplained symptoms such as discharge, itching, odor, pain, or sores, as well as those with recurrent yeast or BV infections or anyone seeking the most comprehensive sexual and vaginal health screening.

Do I need to have symptoms to get tested?

No. Many infections do not cause noticeable symptoms. Testing can help detect infections early, even if you feel well, and provide reassurance about your sexual health.

What types of infections are included in this panel?

The panel includes:

  • Multiple Candida (yeast) species
  • Bacterial vaginosis–associated organisms
  • Sexually transmitted bacteria such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, mycoplasma, and ureaplasma
  • Viral infections including herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2), cytomegalovirus, and varicella-zoster virus

What samples are needed for the test?

Testing typically requires a urine sample depending on the pathogens being screened. The collection process is quick and minimally invasive.

What happens if one or more infections are detected?

If a result is positive, a healthcare provider will review your results with you, discuss treatment or follow-up options, and guide you on next steps to support your health and recovery.
