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.
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.
We can only offer treatment prescriptions in the following states:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington DC, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Frequently Asked Questions About STD Testing
Can I order an STD test without a doctor?
Yes — in most states. Personalabs provides a physician-approved lab order as part of your purchase, so you don’t need your own doctor’s referral. Our network physician approves your order within 2–4 hours. A small number of states restrict direct-to-consumer lab testing; contact us to confirm availability in your state.
Is STD testing private and confidential?
Yes. Your results are delivered only to your secure, private Personalabs account. STD test results ordered through Personalabs are not reported to your insurance company or submitted to your primary care physician unless you choose to share them. HIPAA-compliant handling protects your information at every step.
Do I need to fast before an STD panel?
No fasting is required for the blood tests in this panel. For the urine portion (chlamydia and gonorrhea), do not urinate for at least one hour before your blood draw to ensure an adequate sample.
How soon after exposure can STDs be detected?
Detection windows vary by infection. HIV (4th generation): detectable as early as 18–45 days after exposure, with most cases detectable by 45 days. Herpes (IgG antibody): typically detectable 12–16 weeks after exposure. Syphilis: usually detectable 3–6 weeks after exposure. Chlamydia and gonorrhea: detectable within 1–2 weeks. If you’ve had a very recent exposure, consider retesting at the appropriate window period for each infection.
What happens if I test positive?
If you test positive for chlamydia, herpes 2, or gonorrhea, Personalabs will provide free STD counseling and a free doctor’s prescription to a pharmacy of your choice for treatment — at no additional charge. (Available in most states; you pay for the medication at the pharmacy.) For other positive results, we recommend following up with a healthcare provider for next steps and treatment options.
How is this different from a basic STD test?
A basic STD panel typically covers only chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. The Personalabs 11 Panel adds herpes 1 and 2 (HSV IgG), hepatitis A, B, and C, and a full urinalysis — giving you a complete picture of your sexual health rather than a partial screening. Many people who test “negative” on a basic panel are unknowingly carrying herpes or hepatitis, which are not included in most basic panels.
How long does it take to get STD test results?
Results are typically available in your Personalabs account within 24–48 hours of your blood draw for most tests in this panel. Some components may take slightly longer; contact us if you need results by a specific date.
How often should I get tested for STDs?
The CDC recommends annual STD testing for all sexually active adults. If you have multiple partners, engage in unprotected sex, or are in a higher-risk group, testing every 3–6 months is advisable. Getting a baseline test when starting a new relationship is also a responsible practice for both partners.
