OVERVIEW ## What is an STD panel test? An STD panel test is a comprehensive laboratory screening that detects multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from a single specimen collection. This panel includes tests for common infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and others depending on the specific panel ordered. The goal is to provide a broad infection status overview to support diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. ORDERING ## Who orders an STD panel test? Healthcare providers, clinics, or employers typically order STD panel tests to assess risk, symptoms, or compliance requirements. Individuals may also request testing through a medical professional. AMH Nationwide facilitates the lab order and directs the requester to a collection site but does not provide online ordering. DETECTION ## What infections are detected and what is the detection window? The STD panel detects infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, trichomoniasis, and others depending on the panel components. Detection windows vary by infection and test method but generally range from a few days to several weeks post-exposure. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea: Detected by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) within 1 to 2 weeks after exposure. Syphilis: Blood antibody tests detect infection usually 3 to 6 weeks after exposure. HIV: Antigen/antibody combination tests detect infection typically 2 to 6 weeks post-exposure. Herpes: Antibody tests detect past or current infection, but may not identify very recent exposure. Hepatitis B and C: Antibody and antigen tests detect infection from 4 weeks to several months after exposure. COLLECTION ## What is the specimen collection process for an STD panel? Specimen collection for an STD panel depends on the specific infections tested and may include [urine](https://amhnationwide.com/urine-drug-testing/) samples, blood draws, oral or genital swabs. AMH Nationwide directs the requester to a convenient collection site within one of five national lab networks: [Quest Diagnostics](https://www.questdiagnostics.com/), [LabCorp](https://www.labcorp.com/), Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox.
