This profile assesses the levels and types of proteins in the blood, providing insights into various conditions such as immune disorders, infections, and cancers. Total Protein measures the overall protein content, while Albumin and Globulin levels offer information on liver function and immune status. Immunoglobulins A (IgA), M (IgM), and G (IgG) are antibodies critical for immune defense, and their levels help detect immune deficiencies or chronic infections. Protein Electrophoresis helps differentiate between different types of proteins in the blood, identifying abnormal protein patterns associated with diseases like multiple myeloma. This profile is key in diagnosing and monitoring conditions affecting the immune system and protein synthesis.

This profile is designed for the early detection of viral infections that can significantly impact sexual health. It includes HIV-RNA Viral Load, which quantifies the amount of HIV in the blood, helping assess the effectiveness of treatment and disease progression. The HIV-2 RNA (PCR) test specifically detects HIV-2, a less common strain of the virus. Additionally, the profile tests for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV RNA), providing crucial information about hepatitis C infection, and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV DNA), which measures viral load in hepatitis B infections. This comprehensive testing is vital for prompt diagnosis and management of these infections, ultimately aiding in better patient outcomes and reducing transmission risk.”

This screening profile provides rapid and reliable testing for common sexually transmitted infections, ensuring early detection and prompt treatment. It includes: Chlamydia – a prevalent STI that can lead to infertility if untreated; Gonorrhoea – a bacterial infection affecting multiple areas of the body and potentially causing long-term health issues if not treated; HIV 1&2/P4 Antigen – detects both early-stage and long-standing HIV infections by identifying the virus and the body’s immune response; Syphilis (IgG/IgM) – screens for antibodies indicating both recent and past infections of syphilis, a serious infection that can cause significant complications if left untreated. This fast-screen profile offers peace of mind and facilitates timely intervention.
