Viral Panel Plus
Focused on the viral STDs — HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and herpes (HSV-1 & 2) in one confidential blood draw. The infections that stay with you, checked in a single visit.
The bacterial STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea are curable — but the viral ones can stay with you, so they're worth checking on their own. This panel focuses on the four viral STDs that matter most: HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and herpes (both HSV-1 and HSV-2). It's a smart choice if you've already covered the bacterial tests, or if long-term viral infections are your main concern. No judgment, nothing billed to insurance, nothing on your insurance record.

When to Get Tested
HIV is usually detectable by 3–6 weeks with a 4th-generation test (sooner with an RNA test). Hepatitis B surface antigen typically appears within 1–2 months; hepatitis C antibodies can take up to a few months. Herpes antibodies can take several weeks to a few months to develop. For a very recent exposure, a repeat test later gives the clearest picture.
Understanding Your Results
Results post to your secure online account, usually in 1–2 business days, in plain English. Hepatitis C is curable; HIV and hepatitis B are very manageable when caught early; herpes is common and manageable. Reflex confirmations are built in, so reactive results get worked up automatically. Nothing is billed to insurance and nothing appears on your insurance record.
