What is the Male Sexual Health – Advanced Screen?
The Male Sexual Health – Advanced Screen is a comprehensive STI testing panel designed to detect common and clinically significant sexually transmitted infections in men. It combines blood and urine testing to provide broad, reliable screening.
This profile includes:
-
Chlamydia
-
Gonorrhoea
-
HIV
-
Hepatitis B
-
Hepatitis C
-
Syphilis
Many sexually transmitted infections can be asymptomatic, meaning they may go unnoticed while still causing long-term health issues or being passed on to others. This advanced screen helps identify infections early, even in the absence of symptoms.

Your Male Sexual Health – Advanced Screen results explained
All tests negative
Negative results indicate no evidence of the tested sexually transmitted infections at the time of testing. This provides reassurance but does not replace routine screening if exposure continues.

One or more infections detected
A positive result indicates the presence of a specific infection. Most STIs are treatable or manageable when identified early.
Appropriate medical follow-up is important.

Mixed results
Some infections may be present while others are negative. Each result is interpreted individually, allowing targeted follow-up and treatment.
