Purpose of the Full Panel STD Test
This full panel STD test offers a comprehensive assessment of your sexual health. You can screen for 11 of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Because you can have an STD and not experience any symptoms, this test includes blood work and a complete urinalysis. Testing is important because untreated STDs can lead to significant health problems, and online test ordering with Personalabs gives you privacy and convenience.

What Does the STD Testing Panel Measure?
An STD can develop after contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that enters the body and damages cells. STDs that can be detected with this test include:
| STD Tested | Method | What It Detects |
|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | Urine (NAA) | Bacterial infection, often asymptomatic |
| Gonorrhea | Urine (NAA) | Bacterial infection, often asymptomatic |
| HIV 1 & 2 | Blood (4th Gen) | Antibodies + p24 antigen for early detection |
| Herpes 1 & 2 (HSV) | Blood (IgG) | Antibodies for oral and genital herpes |
| Syphilis | Blood | Antibodies via screening cascade |
| Hepatitis A | Blood | Antibodies indicating past exposure or active infection |
| Hepatitis B | Blood | Surface antigen + antibodies |
| Hepatitis C | Blood | Antibodies indicating exposure |
| Urinalysis | Urine | General markers of urinary/reproductive health |
HSA and FSA eligible. STD testing qualifies as a reimbursable medical expense.
Privacy matters. Your results are delivered securely to your private Personalabs account — not sent to your insurance company, your employer, or anyone else. You control who sees them.
Why the 11 Panel Covers What the 7 Panel Misses
The standard 7-panel STD test covers HIV, herpes, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The 11-panel adds four additional infections that are frequently overlooked but increasingly common:
Hepatitis A — spread through sexual contact as well as contaminated food and water. Outbreaks among sexually active adults have increased significantly. Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all sexually active adults who are not already immune.
Trichomoniasis — the most common curable STD in the United States, affecting approximately 3.7 million people. Symptoms include genital itching, burning, and abnormal discharge — but 70% of infected people have no symptoms at all. Easily treated with a single dose of antibiotics.
Mycoplasma genitalium — a bacterial STD that has become increasingly recognized as a cause of urethritis in men and cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. It is developing antibiotic resistance rapidly. Often missed because it requires specific NAAT testing not included in standard panels
HSV-1 distinguished from HSV-2 — the 11-panel tests each herpes type separately. Knowing whether you have HSV-1 or HSV-2 affects transmission risk assessment, medication decisions, and partner communication.
The 11-panel gives the most complete picture of your sexual health status available through direct-to-consumer testing. All results delivered privately to your secure Personalabs portal — nothing shared with anyone.

Who Should Take an STD Blood Panel?
This STD testing panel is recommended for people who have been sexually active in the last three months and wish to establish a baseline for their overall sexual health. After that, you should test at least once a year, or more frequently if you are in a high-risk group (for instance, engaging in unprotected sex or being active with multiple partners).
STD Lab Panel Preparation
You do not need to fast for the blood panel STD test. You must not urinate within one hour of testing for the urinalysis to ensure you have enough for an adequate sample.
Panel STD Test Results
Your results will indicate the presence of any STDs in your body. Positive results will show you have an STD, while negative results assure you that you are free from the diseases screened for in the STD lab panel.
If you have tested positive for chlamydia, herpes 2, and/or gonorrhea, we will provide you with STD counseling and a doctor’s prescription to a pharmacy of your choice to get STD treatment, free of charge. This service is the starting point for you to receive a thorough treatment for STDs. Please note that you will have to pay for the medication at the pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions: 11 Panel STD Test
What is the difference between the 11 panel and the 7 panel STD test?
The 7-panel STD test screens for HIV, herpes HSV-1 and HSV-2, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The 11-panel adds hepatitis A, trichomoniasis, and Mycoplasma genitalium — three infections increasingly common in sexually active adults that are missed by standard panels. Trichomoniasis alone affects 3.7 million Americans and is frequently asymptomatic.
What is Mycoplasma genitalium and why is it on the panel?
Mycoplasma genitalium is a bacterial STD causing urethritis in men and cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. It has become increasingly recognized as a significant STD — particularly because it is developing antibiotic resistance rapidly. Standard STD panels do not test for it. Early detection allows treatment with appropriate antibiotics before resistance patterns develop.
How soon after exposure should I get the 11 panel STD test?
Window periods vary. HIV detectable at 18 days (conclusive at 45 days). Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis 1 to 2 weeks. Syphilis 3 to 6 weeks. Hepatitis B 6 weeks. Hepatitis C 8 to 12 weeks. Herpes 12 to 16 weeks. Testing too early may produce false negatives — if you have a known recent exposure retest after the full window period.
Is the 11 panel STD test confidential?
Yes. All results are delivered privately to your secure Personalabs portal. Nothing is shared with insurance companies, employers, partners, or family members without your explicit consent. No record appears in your insurance history.
Do I need to fast before the 11 panel STD test?
No fasting required. Do not urinate for at least one hour before your visit — the urine component tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and Mycoplasma genitalium and requires an adequate urine sample.
