Sexual Health Screening - Basic
Sexual health screening tests are essential for assessing overall sexual health and detecting infections, providing a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's health status. These tests include a Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count to evaluate blood health, urinalysis for urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HBsAg for active Hepatitis B, and Anti-HCV for Hepatitis C. Additionally, the RPR and TP-PA tests are used to diagnose syphilis by identifying relevant antibodies.
To ensure optimal health, it is recommended that individuals begin screening at age 21 or when they become sexually active, with follow-up screenings annually or as advised by a healthcare provider.
