What is included in an STD panel?
An STD panel is a collection of laboratory tests designed to detect common sexually transmitted infections. The panel typically includes tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, herpes simplex virus, and hepatitis B and C.
At AMH Nationwide, the STD panel samples are collected at authorized sites and processed through five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox. This ensures comprehensive and accurate testing.
How is the STD panel sample collected?
Sample collection for the STD panel varies depending on the infections tested. Common samples include urine, blood, and swabs from genital, oral, or rectal areas.
AMH Nationwide directs you to an authorized collection site after you contact us. There is no online ordering. The collection process follows strict guidelines to maintain sample integrity and confidentiality.
How are STD panel results processed and reported?
After collection, samples are sent to one of the five national lab networks for analysis. All non-negative results undergo review by a certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) to confirm accuracy and interpret findings.
Results are typically available within a few days to a week depending on the panel components. AMH Nationwide provides support to understand your results and next steps.

STD panels are commonly ordered by healthcare providers for patients with symptoms, exposure risk, or as part of routine sexual health screenings.
Employers, legal entities, or individuals may also request STD panel testing for employment, custody, or personal reasons. AMH Nationwide facilitates testing through medical orders but does not provide online test ordering.
