Sexual Health Serology is a test that checks for certain infections that can be transmitted through sexual contact. It helps to identify if a person has been exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
The results of the test can provide important information about a person's sexual health. If the test comes back negative, it means that the person has not been exposed to these infections. However, if the test comes back positive, it indicates that the person has been exposed to one or more of these STIs and further medical evaluation and treatment may be necessary.
It is important to get tested regularly, especially if you are sexually active or have multiple sexual partners, as many STIs do not show obvious symptoms. Early detection and treatment can help prevent the spread of infections and protect your overall health.
