Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Testing Package

To protect your health and your partner’s health, Raha Medical Laboratory in Riyadh provides a confidential sexually transmitted infection testing package designed for early detection of common infections, even before symptoms appear.

Many sexually transmitted infections can develop silently without clear signs. That is why STI testing is important for early diagnosis, reducing complications, and helping you start the right medical care as soon as possible.

Why Do You Need STI Testing?

Many sexually transmitted infections do not cause obvious symptoms in the early stages. Some infections may remain in the body for months or even years without being noticed.

Early sexually transmitted infection testing helps detect infections before they cause complications such as infertility, liver problems, pelvic infections, or transmission to a partner or baby during pregnancy.

The STI testing package at Raha helps you:

• Check your sexual and reproductive health.
• Detect infection early before symptoms appear.
• Protect yourself and your partner from health complications.
• Start treatment quickly and reduce the risk of transmission.

Who Should Consider STD Testing?

STD testing is not limited to one specific group. It is recommended in several situations, including:

• Before marriage, to check both partners’ health.
• Before pregnancy planning, to help protect the baby from infection during pregnancy or delivery.
• After unprotected sexual contact, even if there are no symptoms.
• If symptoms appear, such as burning during urination, unusual discharge, genital sores, rash, or irritation.
• As part of routine screening for people with multiple partners or a previous history of infection.

What Does the STI Testing Package Include?

The sexually transmitted infection testing package at Raha Medical Laboratory includes 8 tests that cover important sexually transmitted and related infections.

Hepatitis Viruses

HBV – Hepatitis B Test
Helps detect hepatitis B virus, which can be transmitted through sexual contact or blood and may affect liver health if not diagnosed early.

HCV – Hepatitis C Test
Helps detect hepatitis C virus, which can be transmitted through blood and body fluids.

Bacterial Infections

VDRL – Syphilis Test
Used to screen for syphilis, a bacterial infection that can progress through different stages and may cause serious complications if left untreated.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae – Gonorrhea Test
Helps detect gonorrhea, which may affect fertility and cause genital or pelvic infections if not treated.

Chlamydial Ab – Chlamydia Test
Helps detect chlamydia, one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. Chlamydia can be silent in many cases and may cause reproductive health complications if ignored.

Viral Infections

HSV 1 & 2 – Herpes Test
Helps detect herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, which may cause genital sores, pain, or recurrent outbreaks.

Supporting Tests

RBS – Random Blood Sugar
Checks random blood sugar level as a supporting health test.

Urine General Test
Helps detect urinary tract inflammation, infection indicators, or other urine abnormalities.

Symptoms That May Require STI Testing

Do not wait for all symptoms to appear. One warning sign may be enough to book an STI test, especially after possible exposure.

Common symptoms include:

• Burning or pain during urination.
• Unusual vaginal or penile discharge.
• Sores, blisters, or ulcers in the genital area or mouth.
• Persistent itching or irritation in the genital area.
• Lower abdominal pain or pain during intercourse.
• Unexplained skin rash.

Important note: the absence of symptoms does not always mean the absence of infection. Some infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes, may appear with mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.

When Should You Take an STI Test?

The best time for testing depends on the type of infection and the time needed for it to become detectable. This is often called the window period.

General guidance:

• Chlamydia and gonorrhea: usually after 1–2 weeks from exposure.
• Syphilis VDRL: usually after 3–6 weeks.
• Hepatitis B and C: usually after 4–8 weeks.
• Herpes HSV: usually after 2–4 weeks.
• HIV: usually after 2–4 weeks, but HIV is not included in this package and is available as a separate test.

If you test too early and the result is negative, your doctor may recommend repeating the test after the window period for confirmation.
