Sexual Sexual health can be affected by a range of infections and diseases that are associated with sexual activity, the genital area, and your reproductive organs. In some cases, these infections are acute and easily treated. However, some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be lifelong or lead to chronic conditions that can affect your quality of life and reproductive capacity.
Seasonal Seasonal Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and sometimes can lead to death. In the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter – beginning in October and November, peaking between December and February, and ending as late as May.
Prostate Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and are confined to the prostate gland, where they may not cause serious harm. However, while some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or even no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.
Pathology Pathology tests cover blood tests, and tests on urine, stools and bodily tissues.
If you’re sick, many of the decisions about your care will be based on the results of your blood and pathology tests.
Hereditary Hereditary cancers are caused by pathogenic variants (harmful changes) in certain genes passed from one generation to the next. These pathogenic variants are usually inherited from a parent and can significantly increase the risk for one or more cancers.
Hematopathology
Hematologic diseases, disorders of the blood and blood-forming organs, afflict millions of Americans. In addition to blood cell cancers, hematologic diseases include rare genetic disorders, anemia, conditions related to HIV, sickle cell disease, and complications from chemotherapy or transfusions.
Heart Heart disease, also called atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), occurs when fatty material builds up and forms plaques in your arteries. As plaque builds, arteries narrow, making it difficult for organs to get the blood that is needed. Narrow arteries limit blood supply to the heart and create increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
Gastric Gastric distress is a group of digestive disorders that are associated with lingering symptoms of constipation, bloating, reflux, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping. These gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms can be caused by infections, food intolerances, food allergies or autoimmune diseases.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a group of chronic conditions linked by the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or to appropriately respond to insulin (insulin resistance). This causes hyperglycemia and can lead to a number of acute and chronic health problems, some of them life-threatening. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 30 million people in the US have diabetes, and the disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.
Coronavirus Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention.
Chronic Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) are viral infections. For some people, infection with these viruses causes a short-term acute illness that clears. But for others, HBV and HCV can become long-term, chronic infections that can lead to severe liver disease.
Allergies
Allergies affect as many as 30% of adults and 40% of children. Reactions to allergies can cause coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny nose and a scratchy throat. In severe cases, allergic reactions can include rashes, hives, low blood pressure, breathing trouble, asthma attacks and even death.

This at-home urine test detects the bacteria that cause chlamydia, the most common STI globally. Chlamydia is cured with antibiotics after diagnosis.
This at-home urine test detects the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonorrhea is the second most common STI reported in the US and can be cured. The incidence of Gonorrhea most often in people between the ages 20-24.
Trichomoniasis (or “Trich”) is a very common infection, affecting more women than men, caused by a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. 70% of people who have the parasite have no symptoms. According to the CDC, about 1 in 5 people contract trichomoniasis again shortly after treatment so follow-up testing is recommended.
HIV, short for human immunodeficiency virus, is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system spread via body fluid exposure such as sexual intercourse or blood. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The CDC recommends that screening for HIV should be performed routinely for all individuals aged 13-64.
Syphilis is caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum and is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that, without treatment, can have serious health implications. This STI became less common but has been on the rise since 2005. Many people who are infected do not experience symptoms.
This test indicates an inflammation or infection of the vagina called vaginitis caused by an imbalance of bacteria or yeast in the female reproductive tract which can cause itching, discharge, pain, and/or odor. You may have more than one type of vaginitis at the same time – Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Candida Vaginitis (CV), or Trichomonas Vaginitis (TV).
This test detects the presence of Mycoplasma genitalium, a relatively new and important sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Chronic infection may lead to tubal-factor infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth and spontaneous abortion. All of these symptoms and conditions can be caused by other STIs, and non-STIs as well, making diagnosis difficult without testing.
This test detects Ureaplasma bacteria typically found in the cervix, vagina or urethra that can be passed through sexual contact. An overgrowth of ureaplasma can cause uncomfortable symptoms and irritation and ifleft untreated can lead to serious health problems and progressive infections such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility.
This test detects antibodies to the two forms of the Herpes Simplex Virus: Herpes Simplex Virus I (HSV-1) and Herpes Simplex Virus II (HSV-2). HSV-1 is most commonly associated with sores in or near the mouth, but it can also impact the genitals. HSV-2 is most commonly associated with sores on the genitals, but can also result in sores on the mouth. If you were ever exposed to HSV-2, your body will have developed antibodies to the infection. These antibodies remain in your system for life. While there is no cure for herpes, medication can reduce the symptoms and reduce the time it takes the herpes blisters to heal during an outbreak.
This test detects an infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) resulting in inflammation of the liver due to excessive alcohol use, certain toxins, some medications, some medical conditions,or a viral infection. Hepatitis B is usually a short-term illness but it can lead to more serious health issues like liver damage and liver cancer.
This test determines if you’ve ever had a Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection by checking your blood for HCV-specific antibodies. HCV is a liver infection transmitted through needles, blood exposure, and sexual intercourse. Many people with hepatitis B and C have no symptoms until the later stages.
This Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to the hemoglobin in your blood. A HbA1c test may be helpful in determining your risk of diabetes or pre-diabetes, or how well your diabetes is being managed if you have already been diagnosed with diabetes.
Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries that helps regulate the reproductive system in women. This test measures the level of progesterone in the blood and can help identify what is causing infertility, track ovulation as well as diagnose an ectopic pregnancy. When a woman experiences abnormal uterine bleeding, getting tested for progesterone is highly recommended.
The Ovarian Reserve Test offers you an insight into how many eggs you have left in your ovaries by testing the range of Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) in the blood. You should take the test if you are thinking about having IVF, this test can give you an indication of how you are likely to respond to treatment. To get the most accurate indication of your ovarian reserve, it is important that you are not using hormonal contraception when taking this test.
The Female Hormone test offers a comprehensive picture of your fertility status by looking at a number of key hormones including Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Prolactin and Oestradiol.
This test screens for Human papillomavirus (HPV) and confirms high-risk genotypes for insight into risk of getting cervical cancer and preventative treatment plans. Early detection is important, since HPV often causes no symptoms but can lead to the development of genital warts and genital cancer. Specifically, HPV is known to cause penile cancer in men, cervical cancer in women, and anal cancer in men and women.
These tests measure the main hormones that are key to maintaining healthy body weight, bone density, sleep, mood, and sex drive. A dysfunctioning thyroid can be treated, yet many people are unaware their adverse symptoms are treatable.
This test evaluates the levels of vitamin B9 in your body to help identify any deficiencies and help determine if any dietary changes are needed to treat or prevent conditions like chronic fatigue, blood disorders, or potential pregnancy complications.
The Liver test detects elevated enzyme levels that may indicate acute or chronic liver disease. The liver breaks down fat to aid digestion, fight illness, control cholesterol, clot blood and store key nutrients. Liver disease doesn’t usually cause obvious signs or symptoms until it is advanced and the liver is damaged.
This test is a good basic indicator of your overall health. The cholesterol and lipids test measures the fatty substances used in the body as energy that contribute to heart health and most commonly tied to risk for heart disease and stroke which include HDL, LDL, Total Cholesterol, and Triglycerides.
This test is used to detect levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol, which is produced in the adrenal glands in response to acute stress like illness, exercise, and emotional triggers. This hormone helps control blood sugar levels and energy metabolism and too much or too little cortisol can be a sign of an adrenal gland disorder.
This test measures your levels of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in your cells. Your iron stores can become depleted when your intake is not sufficient due to the inability to absorb iron from your food (e.g., celiac disease), or if you have an increased need for iron (e.g., with chronic blood loss). When iron levels drop too low, you may become anemic which may lead to chronic fatigue and other symptoms.
This test measures the level of C-reactive protein (CRP), a substance made by the liver in response to inflammation, which may indicate the presence of an illness, injury, or infection. Elevated CRP levels are associated with several diseases and conditions including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense mechanism in response to injury, infection, or irritants to combat and fix the damage or effect.

This test measures your blood levels for Folate, also known as Vitamin B9, a water soluble vitamin that is important for neurological health, blood cell function, and more.
These tests measure the main hormones that are key to maintaining healthy body weight, bone density, sleep, mood, and sex drive. A dysfunctioning thyroid can be treated, yet many people are unaware their adverse symptoms are treatable.
This test analyzes over 30 vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to determine nutritional deficiencies. It also analyzes the performance and functional deficiencies of these key micronutrients that enable the body to produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth, development, and good health.
This test checks prostate specific antigen (PSA), a protein made by the prostate gland. Generally, men will have low levels of PSA in the blood. A man’s PSA level may be elevated when disease is present in the prostate, including prostate cancer, noncancerous enlargement of the prostate, inflammation of the prostate, or infection of the prostate.
This test measures your blood levels for free and attached testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone that is important for neurological health, blood cell function, maintaining a healthy sex drive, muscle mass, sperm production, bone density, and more.
This test measures four key celiac-associated biomarkers to screen for celiac disease, monitoring your response to gluten. For accurate results, you must eat gluten for 6 to 8 weeks before taking this test.
This test panel includes markers that measure overall kidney function and indicate possible kidney damage. Your kidneys keep you healthy by removing waste products from your blood. Without the kidneys, these toxins would build up in the body and cause damage. With early diagnosis and treatment, it’s possible to slow or stop the progression of chronic kidney disease.
This test is used to detect levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol, which is produced in the adrenal glands in response to acute stress like illness, exercise, and emotional triggers.
