STI Testing by PCR
Many sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms and occur together. Our panel tests for the common pathogens from one specimen, so co-infections are found on the first visit.
Our Features

Common questions
How is PCR different from culture?
Culture grows organisms over days and reports what grew. PCR detects organism DNA directly and is not affected by recent antibiotic use or slow-growing species.
What do resistance markers tell me?
They show genes linked to resistance against specific antibiotic classes. They guide the choice of therapy and do not replace clinical judgment.
Can I still order a culture?
Yes. Culture and sensitivity can be ordered with the panel.
