The STI 10 Panel is an accredited molecular (PCR) screen that tests for 10 sexually transmitted infections from a single sample. PCR detects the organism's genetic material directly, making it more sensitive than antibody-based testing and able to identify infection earlier. Results are ready in 2–3 days, with urgent/STAT processing available on request. All results are reviewed by a doctor and communicated confidentially.
The STI 10 Panel uses PCR to detect: 1. Chlamydia trachomatis 2. Trichomonas vaginalis 3. Neisseria gonorrhoeae 4. Mycoplasma hominis 5. Ureaplasma urealyticum 6. Ureaplasma parvum 7. Mycoplasma genitalium 8. Treponema pallidum (syphilis) 9. Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) 10. Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) Every target is detected by PCR — no antibody or antigen testing is used in this panel.
Understanding who needs this test and what symptoms to look out for.
STIs frequently coexist — having one STI increases the likelihood of having or acquiring another due to shared risk factors. This panel ensures that the most common pathogens are not missed, particularly for individuals who are sexually active with new or multiple partners.
Recommended for anyone who has had unprotected sex, is starting a new relationship, has symptoms of an STI, has been notified of a partner's positive STI result, or wants a thorough annual sexual health check.
If giving a urine sample: avoid urinating for at least one hour before collection, and provide a first-catch sample (the first 20–30 mL of the stream). Avoid genital washes or douches for 24 hours beforehand. If giving a blood sample: no special preparation and no fasting required.
