Details about Female Sexual Health - Advanced Screen
What is the Female Sexual Health – Advanced Screen?
The Female Sexual Health Screen is a diagnostic test panel designed to detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs) using a combination of PCR swab testing and blood-based antibody and antigen tests.
This screen focuses on the most clinically relevant and commonly transmitted infections, including bacterial STIs and blood-borne viral infections. Testing is suitable for women who want reassurance, routine screening, or investigation of symptoms following sexual contact.
Early detection allows timely treatment, reduces the risk of complications, and helps prevent transmission to partners.
What does the Female Sexual Health Screen test for?
This panel includes only the following biomarkers:
PCR Swab Tests
- Chlamydia PCR Swab
- Gonorrhoea PCR Swab
Blood Tests
- HIV Antibodies 1 & 2 with P24 Antigen
- Syphilis IgG / IgM
- Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
- Hepatitis C Antibodies
These tests together provide broad coverage for bacterial and viral STIs commonly screened in sexual health assessments.
Why do I need a Female Sexual Health – Advanced Screen?
Sexually transmitted infections often cause no symptoms, particularly in women. This screen helps detect infections early, even when you feel well.
You may benefit from this test if you:
- Have had unprotected sex
- Have a new sexual partner
- Want routine sexual health screening
- Are experiencing vaginal discharge, pain or discomfort
- Have abnormal bleeding or pelvic pain

- Have a partner diagnosed with an STI

Early testing reduces the risk of long-term complications such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic infection.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
