Positive/Negative/Inconclusive
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy
It is actually the combination of two things senstivity and specificity variables which define accuracy of any specific diagnostic test. Sensitivity is the test ability to confirm a positive result, while specific city is its ability whereit eliminatesall negative results. Up to an accuracy of as much as 98.5% is taken into consideration by us to validate all our test.
Variables
The accuracy that this test result provides is highly dependent on several factors that cannot be controlled by our lab.Infection intensity, patient health, and quality of the sample which is dependent on the adherence to “home testing” procedures can all be factors that limit the results of of the test. Ensure that a test is extremely sensitive.
Certain limitations like when the quality of the swab sample is poor will make it difficult for the test to detect infection becasue a poor quality swab will only contain few viral particles.
Therefore, we request that you read the information sheet that comes along with the sample kit to ensure a quality swab sample for efficient testing.
Detection
The detection test can detect the presence of the Mycoplasma genitalium bacteria with great accuracy.This test is able to do so by using the PCR amplifying method and subsequently detecting the presence of pathogen in the sample.
This 3 in 1 STD profile PCR detection method with accuracy does check the presence of 3 infections namely, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and also Ureaplasma urealyticum bacteria present in the sample. It does so by establishing a distinction present between all of these infections.
We also recommend that in cases where you are in contact with the person who has tested positive for the disease previously or starts to present symptoms, consistent with the disease, you should always contact your GP.
Positive Result
Any test result is said to be positive when a particular sample is found to be infested with the presence of viral particles, in which case you must contact your healthcare provider for further treatment.
We also provide a prescription through our website. It is also possible that the bacteria does not present any symptoms.
However, you can still transfer the infection to others.
Negative Result
While a negative result is always reassuring, you must always discuss your result with your doctor, who should assess and consider your lifestyle including your sexual history.
We also recommend that in cases where you are in contact with the person who has tested positive for the disease previously or starts to present symptoms, consistent with the disease, you should always contact your GP.

Some Shared Stories
People who come forward to share their worst experiences
“My body is nothing but just a temple – of damnation.”
So my story started when I got chlamydia from one of my exes. Was because we did not use protection and the exact same week. My ex-boyfriend called me up and told me that he had a sexually transmitted disease. The very next day he came to my house and gave me some pills that he received from a medical Centre. It was then that I decided that I should get an STD profile doneIt was then that I decided that I should get an STD profile done.It was then that I decided that I should get an STD profile done.
It look like I was ashamed of getting the test done, but it was not because I was ashamed of having sex and that to anal sex, but it was because I never in my life had heard of an anal STI. It was then that my doctor for the first time told me that it does happen, and it was really good on my part that I got it checked. This made me very curious and This made me very curious and I asked a lot of young people about This made me very curious and I asked a lot of young people about their most unpleasant experiences about how they got to know tha This made me very curious and I asked a lot of young people about their most unpleasant experiences about how they got to know that This made me very curious and I asked a lot of young people about their most unpleasant experiences about how they got to know that they have a particular STD.
One of my young friends told me that she developed a blister on her Vulva.
It was last summer when I found out that I had got an STD. I went to attend a music festival where I had sex with a stranger and we did not use condom. I did though take a morning after the next day, but it was not long after from that night that I found out that I had herpes. The symptoms that I felt, I had a gross and very smelly discharge I had a gross and very smelly discharge, and I also felt a lot of pain while I went to pee. I had a gross and very smelly discharge, and I also felt a lot of pain while I went to pee, and I also developed a blister on my Valva, of course I had a gross and very smelly discharge and I also felt a lot of pain while I went to pee, and I also developed a blister on my Valva, of course, it was very uncomfortable, although I have heard a lot I had a gross and very smelly discharge and I also felt a lot of pain while I went to pee, and I also developed a blister on my Valva, of course, it was very uncomfortable, although I have heard a lot more terrible stories about the infection. I had a gross and very smelly discharge and I also felt a lot of pain while I went to pee, and I also developed a blister on my Valva, of course, it was very uncomfortable, although I have heard a lot more terrible stories about the infection.
From the very beginning, I had a very bad feeling about that night.
This whole experience actually allowed me to have a more sensible and cautious relationship with my sexual health. I now make it a priority and get myself tested regularly and take it very seriously, and I also very comfortably communicate about all of it with my family and my friends, including and the most important, my sexual partner.
“Holiday and STD”
So it all started when I went on a holiday and felt really really sick. I remember I was sitting on my bed and I noticed some gooey substance coming out of my dick. It was then that I immediately saw a Doctor Who put an injection in my ass to treat the infection. It was this time to treat the infection. It was this time that I was so sick that I promised myself. to treat the infection. It was this time that I was so sick that I promised myself that I will never have unprotected sex again in my to treat the infection. It was this time that I was so sick that I promised myself that I will never have unprotected sex again in my to treat the infection.
From my journey I learnt the importance of communicating with your sex partners. I also want to emphasise how important it is to get regular. SDI checkup done.
Monogamous Relationships
My story is a bit complex to understand because at the time I was in a relationship, and I had to monogamous relationships continuously, and also had casual sex once.
I immediately went to see my doctor as I was very worried.
My result was negative, but I was still having a very weird feeling, and therefore I decided to contact my doctor again and just to doublecheck and my doctor told me that my urine sample test is not back yet. The next morning my doctor updated me that I did have chlamydia. I am so glad that I got the test done. Otherwise, I would still be having it and I would not have even known since then, I make it up, made it a point to get myself checked up regularly, even if you have very less sexual partners.
