To many sexually active individuals, they see the significance of creating a dialogue on STD examinations (and most importantly, to make it a norm) because it can protect the health of their partner, the next generation and most importantly, themselves. Every year, 12,000 people are diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease in Hong Kong. These illnesses are extremely deadly because they are not easily detectable–– it can even show no signs at all!
There are so many STD clinics out there, but which type of assessment should I do? How do I compare between the different STD assessments out there? Which clinic is the most suitable for me? This article will recommend and compare them for you (see below)!
Most STD assessments target common sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis (body check items: spirulina syphilis antibody, syphilis serum test), gonorrhea (body check item: gonorrhea bacterium), genital herpes (body check items: herpes simplex virus type 2 and herpes simplex virus type ½), chlamydia (body check items: chlamydia antibody, chlamydia DNA), HPV (body check item: HPV DNA genotyping) and AIDS (AIDS virus antibodies 1 & 2 and p24 antigen). In addition, other diseases that target women such as trichomoniasis, Gardnerella vaginalis and candida can be tested with a cervical smear.
Most STD screenings have limited sensitivity, so it should not be a surprise that there will be a possibility of a mis-detection. Compared to the antigen-antibody test, the Nucleic-Acid Amplification Test (also known as NAAT) is unique because it has a relatively high level of sensitivity and accuracy result (the antigen test requires 100,000 copies/ml of bacterium, but NAAT only requires 100 copies/ml). Not only that, the test can detect possible diseases with only a small amount of pathogen!
