The STDs Panel by PCR is a set of multiple molecular tests performed on a single sample (urine or swab) to detect the DNA of a range of sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens. PCR is a highly sensitive and specific technique that can detect infection even in very early stages or when symptoms are absent. The panel typically includes organisms such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Mycoplasma genitalium, and may also include viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV).
