The 10 Test STD Panel is a blood test that screens for several common sexually transmitted infections at once. It is often ordered for routine sexual health screening, after a possible exposure, or when a clinician wants to check multiple infections together. Exact markers can vary by lab.

What it measures

  • HIV 1/2 antigen/antibody — Looks for signs of HIV infection.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician, sexual health clinic, or telehealth service may order this panel. It is used for routine screening or follow-up after possible exposure.

Preparation

Results and what they mean

Results are typically reported as negative/nonreactive or positive/reactive, and some markers may include numeric values. A clinician interprets them using exposure timing, symptoms, and vaccination history. This is general information, not medical advice.
