STI-14 Package – Comprehensive Screening for 14 Common Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

The STI-14 Package at MedEx Neo Clinic is a broad-spectrum sexually transmitted infection panel that screens for 14 of the most clinically significant STIs—including bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens. This comprehensive package is designed for individuals who want to go beyond basic screening and detect both common and overlooked infections, many of which are asymptomatic but potentially serious if left untreated.

This package is highly recommended for those with recurrent symptoms, high-risk sexual exposure, previous positive STI history, or anyone seeking peace of mind through a thorough diagnostic overview.

🧪 This package includes tests for the following infections:

🔹 Bacterial & Protozoal STIs

• Chlamydia trachomatis – A silent but leading cause of infertility and PID

• Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea) – Can cause pelvic pain, painful urination, and neonatal infections

• Mycoplasma genitalium – Linked to urethritis and cervicitis, often antibiotic-resistant

• Mycoplasma hominis (PCR) – Can cause bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammation, and complications in pregnancy

• Ureaplasma urealyticum & Ureaplasma parvum – Often ignored but can lead to chronic inflammation, infertility, and preterm labor

• Trichomonas vaginalis (PCR) – A parasitic STI causing vaginal irritation, odor, and urethritis

• Treponema pallidum – The bacterium behind syphilis, which may lead to neurological, cardiac, or congenital complications if untreated

• Haemophilus ducreyi – A rare cause of chancroid, a painful genital ulcer

🔹 Viral Infections

• Herpes Simplex Virus-1 & 2 – Oral and genital herpes can cause painful sores and may be reactivated by stress or illness

🔹 Fungal & Vaginal Flora Disturbances

• Candida albicans – Causes vaginal yeast infections, itching, and discharge

• Gardnerella vaginalis – Common cause of bacterial vaginosis; associated with odor and thin discharge

• Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Strep) – Can be passed from mother to child during childbirth, causing serious neonatal infections

👤 Who Should Get This Package?

• Individuals with recurrent genital symptoms (discharge, itching, burning)

• Those with a history of STIs or frequent exposure to new partners

• Women experiencing vaginal discomfort, odor, or irregular discharge

• Men or women with pelvic pain, infertility, or chronic urethritis

• Couples planning pregnancy or IVF

• Anyone seeking a complete diagnostic overview of STIs

⚠️ Why This Matters: Potential Complications of Undiagnosed Infections

• Infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy

• Preterm delivery and neonatal infections

• Neurological and cardiac complications from syphilis

• Social stigma, emotional stress, and partner transmission

• Immune compromise or increased HIV susceptibility in presence of untreated STIs
