Bayview Labs is excited to announce that we are expanding our testing menu. As we transition towards providing full laboratory services we sought input from the medical community and have focused our initial expansion efforts on molecular testing. We are now providing comprehensive analysis for HPV, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and Tropical Fevers.
The STI 4 assay detects the 4 major pathogens C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae T. vaginalis and M. genitalium simultaneously in one method from a single sample source.
Most times STI causing pathogens are ‘silent ‘ and do not exhibit any symptoms. When exhibiting the symptoms, they are very similar and hard to distinguish. Because of these characteristics, it is important to identify to stop the spread of disease. Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea have been managed as curable major STI pathogens. However, recently the importance of Trichomonas and Mycoplasma has emerged and management has been required for the prevention of the development of complications and sequelae.
