What Did My STI Panel Check?

Use the names on your lab report to make a checklist of what was tested. A “full panel” can mean different things, so the exact test names and sample sites matter.

Tests specifically listed on your report

This checklist does not read your lab report or interpret a diagnosis. Unselected tests are unknown here, not automatically missing from appropriate care.

How to use

  1. Open your itemized report and select only the tests explicitly listed. If you do not have it, leave the checklist blank.
  2. Choose the sample site shown for chlamydia or gonorrhea, if relevant.
  3. Review the checklist and questions to take to your clinic. Do not enter names or upload medical records.

Does a full panel test for everything?

Not necessarily. Ask for the named infections and sample types. What testing is appropriate depends on your symptoms, exposures, age and pregnancy status. More tests are not always better: some tests can produce misleading results when used without the right clinical reason.

Methodology

The checklist matches only the test names you select. It does not infer infections from a package name, a Pap test or the phrase "everything tested." CDC guidance informs the explanations of body-site testing and why herpes screening is not routine for everyone. No diagnosis, test-sensitivity score or universal recommended panel is calculated.
