With this combination test you get clarity about some of the most common STDs, which are detectable in the blood.
Syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C are among the most common sexually transmitted infections. After a high-risk exposure, laboratory test results may come back negative in the first few days or weeks. A definitive diagnosis is possible only 6 weeks after exposure for HIV, 6 months after exposure for hepatitis C, and 3 to 5 weeks after exposure for syphilis.
Note: Please bring your ID with you to the testing site for identity verification.

HIV Information
A positive result should always be discussed with a doctor. If the HIV screening test is positive, a second blood sample must be taken. Only if the HIV confirmation test from the second sample is positive is an HIV infection considered confirmed.
Hepatitis C information
The usual screening test for hepatitis C is the detection of HCV-IgG antibodies in the blood. However, it can take several weeks after infection before the test is positive. If the screening test is positive, further confirmatory tests must be carried out, such as the HCV immunoblot or HCV RNA direct detection.
Syphilis information
If a person has previously had syphilis, the screening test will remain positive. Only on the basis of the activity marker RPR can it be distinguished in such cases whether this person currently has an active infection.
Syphilis leaves no immunity. Reinfection can occur if the person comes into contact with the pathogen Treponema pallidum again.
