This panel combines several blood tests that screen for common sexually transmitted infections, including an early-detection HIV RNA test that can find HIV genetic material sooner after exposure than antibody tests alone. It is ordered when someone wants a broad check for STIs, often after a possible exposure or as part of routine sexual health care.

What it measures

  • HIV RNA (early detection) — Detects HIV genetic material, which may appear earlier than antibodies after exposure.
  • HIV antibody/antigen — Looks for the body's response to HIV plus a viral protein.
  • Syphilis — Screens for the bacterium that causes syphilis.
  • Hepatitis B — Checks for markers of hepatitis B infection or immunity.
  • Hepatitis C — Looks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus.
  • Herpes (HSV-1/HSV-2) — Blood test for antibodies to herpes simplex viruses.

Who it is for

A clinician, clinic, or sexual health provider typically orders this panel. It may be requested after a possible exposure, when symptoms are present, or during routine screening.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell the clinician about any recent exposures or symptoms, since timing can affect which tests are useful.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as detected or not detected, with numeric values for some markers, and are sent to the ordering clinician. A clinician interprets them alongside your history and timing of exposure. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
