What is the Sexual Health Serology Profile (without HIV)?

The Sexual Health Serology Profile (without HIV) is a blood test screening package designed to detect selected sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections excluding HIV. It focuses on infections that may be asymptomatic but can cause long-term health complications if untreated.

This profile uses antibody and antigen testing to identify current or past infection, even when symptoms are mild or absent. It is suitable for routine screening, reassurance testing, or follow-up after potential exposure.

Why do I need a Sexual Health Serology test (without HIV)?

Many sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections can remain silent for months or years, yet still be transmissible or cause organ damage. Testing allows early detection, treatment, and prevention of onward transmission.

This profile is ideal for individuals who want sexual health screening without HIV testing, for personal, medical, or practical reasons.

You may benefit from this test if you:

• Have had unprotected sexual contact
• Are starting a new relationship
• Have a partner diagnosed with an STI
• Require screening for medical, occupational, or insurance purposes
• Want discreet, private testing
• Prefer testing that excludes HIV

Biomarkers included

This serology-only profile includes:

• Syphilis IgG / IgM antibodies
• Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
• Hepatitis C antibodies (Anti-HCV)

👉 Total biomarkers: 3
👉 HIV testing is intentionally excluded

Your results explained

Negative results

Negative results indicate no evidence of current or past infection for the markers tested.

Typical UK interpretation:

• Results below laboratory cut-off values

No further action is usually required unless there has been very recent exposure.

Positive results

Positive results suggest current or previous infection, depending on the marker detected.

Typical UK interpretation:

• Results above laboratory cut-off values

Further clinical review, confirmatory testing, or treatment may be advised.

Inconclusive or borderline results

Occasionally, results may fall close to the cut-off and require repeat testing.

Typical UK interpretation:

• Borderline values

Follow-up testing is usually recommended for clarity.
