What Is Included? The 7 Targets
| Target | Organism type |
|---|---|
| Chlamydia trachomatis | Bacterium |
| Trichomonas vaginalis | Parasite |
| Ureaplasma urealyticum | Bacterium |
| Mycoplasma hominis | Bacterium |
| Neisseria gonorrhoeae | Bacterium |
| Ureaplasma parvum | Bacterium |
| Mycoplasma genitalium | Bacterium |
About the targets
- Chlamydia trachomatis: associated with chlamydia. Some people have no noticeable symptoms, while others have genital or urinary tract symptoms.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae: the bacterium responsible for gonorrhea, which can occur without obvious symptoms.
- Trichomonas vaginalis: a parasite associated with trichomoniasis. Symptoms vary and some people have none.
- Mycoplasma genitalium: a sexually transmitted bacterium associated with certain genital and urinary tract infections. Testing and treatment decisions should be guided by a qualified healthcare professional.
- Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum and Mycoplasma hominis: detection does not automatically mean you have an STI or need treatment, as these can be present as genital-tract colonization. Interpretation should consider symptoms, exposure history and other findings.
What Is Not Included?
This is a targeted pathogen panel, not a complete STI panel. It does not list:
- HIV
- Syphilis
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- HPV
- Herpes simplex virus
These infections require different tests where clinically appropriate.

Which should you choose? It depends on what you want to test for. The STI Pathogen Test focuses on seven specific genital/sexually transmitted microorganisms; the STD Screening Package focuses on HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. A healthcare professional can advise whether one panel or additional testing is appropriate based on your exposure and symptoms.
How Does the Home Collection Work?

- Choose a collection appointment.
- A healthcare professional visits your location.

Private home sample collection is available in Dubai, subject to appointment availability and applicable service procedures.
Who May Consider STI Pathogen Testing?
People who:
- have had a new sexual partner, unprotected sexual contact or condom failure
- have symptoms affecting the genital or urinary tract
- have a partner diagnosed with an STI
- are concerned about a previous sexual exposure or undergoing sexual-health screening
- have been advised to test by a healthcare professional
The appropriate tests depend on the type of exposure, timing, symptoms and individual circumstances. Some STIs occur without obvious symptoms, so a person may carry an organism without noticing anything.
When Should I Test After Exposure?
The right timing depends on the suspected organism, type of exposure, test method and specimen. Testing too soon after exposure can affect the reliability of some tests. Speak with a healthcare professional about the appropriate testing schedule and whether repeat testing is needed.
Specimen and Preparation
The required specimen depends on the testing method and individual testing requirements. Please confirm collection instructions when booking.
Fasting is generally not the main preparation requirement, but follow the laboratory's instructions rather than assuming no preparation is needed. Before your appointment, confirm:
- the required specimen and collection timing
- whether to avoid urinating for a specific period before urine collection, if applicable
- whether to avoid sexual activity before collection, if specifically instructed
- any medication or treatment considerations
Understanding Your Results
A positive result does not always mean you have an STI. For Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium, a positive result can be clinically significant and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. For Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum and Mycoplasma hominis, detection can represent colonization rather than a condition requiring treatment. Results should be read alongside symptoms, sexual history, clinical examination, exposure history, test methodology and other laboratory results.
If a target is detected
Review the result with a qualified healthcare professional, confirm what it means, and ask whether treatment or additional testing is appropriate. Follow their advice on sexual activity and partner notification, and complete any recommended follow-up. Do not self-treat based solely on a laboratory report.
If results are negative
A negative result means the relevant target was not detected by the laboratory's method. It does not exclude every STI: the panel does not test for all STIs, testing may have been too soon after exposure, the infection may be at a different site, and different infections need different tests. If exposure or symptoms remain a concern, speak with a healthcare professional about additional testing.
