Included Markers
1 markersThis test screens for Syphilis, a bacterial infection that can progress through several stages if undetected. It provides a confidential way to check for this specific infection through a simple blood test.
Why this test?
Syphilis is a bacterial infection that may not always produce noticeable symptoms, particularly in its early stages. It can progress through different phases over time. Testing provides a way to gain awareness of your status, which may be valuable for timely consultation with a healthcare provider.
Who is this test for?
This test may be relevant for:
- People who have had unprotected sexual contact
- Those who have noticed sores or rashes that may be associated with Syphilis
- Anyone whose partner has been diagnosed with Syphilis
- People who want a focused screening for this infection
What is tested?
This test screens for:
- Syphilis (VDRL)
The VDRL test detects antibodies that the body may produce in response to the Treponema pallidum bacterium.
What can this test tell you?
The result is reported as reactive or non-reactive. A non-reactive result may indicate that no antibodies associated with Syphilis were detected at the time of testing. A reactive result may suggest exposure and can be discussed with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible confirmatory testing.
The window period for Syphilis is approximately 3 to 6 weeks after potential exposure.
How is the sample collected?
A blood draw is taken at a certified sample point. The procedure is quick and handled discreetly by trained professionals.
When is this test useful?
This test may be considered:
- After unprotected sexual contact
- If unexplained sores or rashes have appeared
- When a partner has been diagnosed with Syphilis
- As a focused check for this specific infection
What do the results mean?
A non-reactive result means no antibodies associated with Syphilis were detected. A reactive result may suggest exposure to the bacterium. A healthcare provider can help interpret the result and advise on any confirmatory steps or follow-up that may be appropriate.
Preparation
No specific preparation is needed. Keep in mind the window period of approximately 3 to 6 weeks after potential exposure. Testing too soon may not yet produce a detectable result.
What happens after the results?
Your results are made available securely through your personal account. If the result requires follow-up, a healthcare provider can help determine the next steps. All information is handled with strict confidentiality.

What We Test
This test includes 1 biomarkers to give you a comprehensive health picture.
The Syphilis RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) test is a non-treponemal screening test that detects antibodies produced in response to syphilis infection. The test measures disease activity and can be used to monitor treatment effectiveness through changes in titre levels.

STDThe Syphilis RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) test is a non-treponemal screening test that detects antibodies produced in response to syphilis infection. The test measures disease activity and can be used to monitor treatment effectiveness through changes in titre levels.
Syphilis progresses through distinct stages if left untreated, potentially leading to serious complications affecting the heart, brain, and nervous system. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics, typically penicillin, is highly effective and can prevent progression to later stages. The RPR test is particularly valuable for monitoring treatment response, as titres should decline after successful treatment. Regular monitoring helps healthcare providers assess whether the infection has been adequately treated.

Anti-HAV (Hepatitis A Antibody)
An Anti-HAV test confidentially determines your hepatitis A antibody status. Our professional laboratory provides reliable results with full discretion, helping you understand your immunity without unnecessary concern.
Anti-HBs (Hepatitis B Immunity)
An Anti-HBs test professionally and confidentially verifies your hepatitis B immunity status. Our laboratory delivers reliable, discreet results so you can confirm your protection against hepatitis B with complete peace of mind.
Chlamydia (PCR)
The Chlamydia PCR test detects the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis, providing a highly accurate method for diagnosing an active infection. It is considered the gold standard for chlamydia diagnosis due to its sensitivity and specificity.
Chlamydia IgG
The Chlamydia IgG antibody test detects antibodies produced in response to a past Chlamydia trachomatis infection. A positive result indicates prior exposure but cannot distinguish between an active and a previously cleared infection.
Gonorrhea (PCR)
The Gonorrhea PCR test detects the DNA of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium responsible for gonorrhea. This nucleic acid amplification test provides highly accurate results for diagnosing an active infection.
HIV 1/2 Antibody + p24 Antigen
The HIV Combo test is a fourth-generation test that detects both HIV p24 antigen and HIV antibodies simultaneously. This dual approach enables earlier detection compared to antibody-only tests, typically within two to six weeks after exposure.
