STI

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases that spread from one person to another through sexual contact of any form. Because many STIs can be asymptomatic—meaning you may not show any physical signs of infection—regular and accurate testing is the only way to protect your long-term health and the health of your partners. At One Health Specialty Labs, we offer a private, clinical environment for comprehensive molecular STI screening. 

Our laboratory utilizes high-sensitivity testing to detect infections at their earliest stages, even when they are not detectable through traditional visual exams or standard cultures. We believe that everyone deserves access to clear, fast, and confidential results so they can make informed decisions about their sexual wellness. By prioritizing accuracy and discretion, we help you manage your health with confidence and peace of mind. 

STI test results 

Our molecular STI panels leverage polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to provide a definitive look at your sexual health. Unlike some traditional tests that can return “false negatives” early in an infection, our PCR method looks for the specific DNA or RNA of the pathogen itself, ensuring a much higher degree of reliability. This level of precision allows your healthcare provider to initiate the correct treatment immediately. 

Our detailed PCR testing menu includes detection for: 

  • Chlamydia & Gonorrhea: Identifying the two most common bacterial STIs with extreme accuracy. 
  • Syphilis: Detecting the bacteria responsible for this serious but treatable infection. 
  • Trichomoniasis: Pinpointing this common parasitic infection that often goes undiagnosed. 
  • Mycoplasma genitalium: Screening for this emerging bacterial threat that can mimic other STI symptoms. 

What to expect from molecular STI testing 

We prioritize your privacy and your time, dispatching results directly to your provider in as little as 24 hours after your sample arrives at our lab. Every positive finding is reviewed by our clinical experts to ensure the report includes actionable data that your doctor can use to prescribe the most effective medication right away. We are committed to a seamless process that removes the anxiety and guesswork from STI screening.
