HIV Screening
Screens for evidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The exact screening method depends on the laboratory. Reactive results require appropriate follow-up testing according to current testing protocols.
Support your reproductive and sexual health with a four-marker blood screening profile covering HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and syphilis screening. These tests can help identify certain infections that may require further medical evaluation.
This profile may be considered as part of a preconception health assessment or when a healthcare professional recommends infection screening. Timely testing and appropriate follow-up can help support informed healthcare decisions.

Detects the hepatitis B surface antigen and helps screen for a current hepatitis B infection. Further testing may be required to understand the infection status and determine the appropriate next steps.
Detects antibodies against the Hepatitis C virus. A reactive result indicates the need for further assessment; an HCV RNA test may be needed to determine whether a current infection is present.
VDRL is a blood test used to screen for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection. Reactive results generally require clinical assessment and additional testing to confirm the diagnosis.
Screening can be one part of a responsible approach to personal and reproductive health.
Obtain information about selected infections through the tests included in the profile.
Discuss relevant screening results with your clinician when planning a pregnancy.
Results can help healthcare professionals determine whether additional investigations or treatment are appropriate.
Screening may help identify infections that require attention, even when symptoms are not present.
A healthcare professional may recommend these screening tests in circumstances such as:
The four listed markers are generally tested using a blood sample. Confirm sample type and collection arrangements with the laboratory.
Fasting is generally not required solely for these four tests, but follow the laboratory's instructions if other tests are being performed at the same visit.
If a possible exposure occurred recently, ask a healthcare professional about the appropriate test and timing. Some infections may not be detectable immediately.
Discuss reactive or unclear results with a qualified healthcare professional. Additional confirmatory tests may be needed.
The listed tests are HIV, HBsAg, Anti-HCV and VDRL. Please confirm the exact test methods with the testing laboratory.
The four markers listed for this product are infection-screening blood tests. A semen culture is a different test that uses a semen sample to investigate possible microbial growth. Contact the provider if you also need a semen culture.
Fasting is generally not necessary solely for HIV, HBsAg, Anti-HCV and VDRL screening. Follow the laboratory's instructions, especially if additional tests are included.
No. These four tests cover selected infections only. Depending on your symptoms, history and exposure, a clinician may recommend additional tests for other sexually transmitted infections.
Not always. Results depend on the test method and the time since possible exposure. A test performed during an early window period may not detect an infection. Follow medical advice about repeat testing where appropriate.
A reactive screening result does not always establish a final diagnosis. Contact a qualified healthcare professional for recommended confirmatory testing and guidance.
This profile screens for selected infections. It does not measure sperm count, motility, morphology or semen quality. A semen analysis and other investigations may be recommended for a fertility assessment.
