Genetic testing for sexually transmitted diseases .
Sexually transmitted diseases due to the mode of infection, risk factors and symptoms are often confused with each other. The course of treatment differs for some of them, so it is important to identify the infectious agent.
The test uses a PCR test that detects the presence of 3 pathogens that cause sexually transmitted infections in a single assay: Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis.
The most important risk factors that favor urogenital infections include:
- a large number and/or frequent changes of sexual partners
- use of oral contraceptives
- antibiotic therapy
- immunocompromised states
- certain diseases, e.g. diabetes, cancer
- pregnancy (increased susceptibility)
Untreated infections lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory conditions, urethritis, premature birth, malformations in the unborn child (low birth weight, neurological disorders, blindness) and infertility.
Some infections can be asymptomatic and lead to infection of the sexual partner. The test is also applicable after previous treatment to confirm its effectiveness.
