Understanding Your Results

Results are qualitative, indicating presence or absence of RNA for each pathogen. A positive result suggests active infection, while a negative result indicates no detectable RNA at the time of testing.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of STIs, have a positive test result, or have been exposed to an infected partner. Early treatment is essential to prevent complications.

Limitations

  • ⚠Detects active infections only; cannot identify past infections if RNA is cleared
  • ⚠Qualitative results do not quantify pathogen load
  • ⚠May require confirmatory testing in some cases
  • ⚠Limited to detection of specified pathogens; does not cover other STIs

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from sample collection, such as minor discomfort or rare infection at swab site

Interfering Factors

  • ●Improper sample collection or handling
  • ●Contamination during collection
  • ●Recent antibiotic use may affect RNA levels
  • ●Timing of sample collection relative to infection onset
