Sexual Health
Screening
Maintaining sexual health is an important part of overall well-being. However, many sexually transmitted and viral infections can go unnoticed. This is because they often cause mild or no symptoms. When left untreated, these infections may lead to long-term complications such as infertility, chronic pain, liver damage, or reduced immune function. Therefore, regular sexual health screening is essential for protecting both your own health and your partners.
At Fortress Clinical Laboratory, our Sexual Health Profile provides a comprehensive and clinically validated assessment. It is designed to detect infections early, even before symptoms appear. Early detection enables timely treatment and reduces the risk of complications. Infections such as HIV, Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B can present with vague symptoms, including fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort, or jaundice. By identifying these conditions sooner, healthcare professionals can create personalised care plans that protect immune function and support long-term health.
Your doctor may recommend sexual health screening as part of routine care, after a potential exposure, or if you develop concerning symptoms. Regular testing provides valuable insight into your sexual health. It also allows for early detection of infections that might otherwise remain hidden.
Sexual Health Test Profile includes:
- HIV Antibodies – detects infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus for early intervention and treatment planning
- Hepatitis A Antibodies – identifies previous or current Hepatitis A infection
- Hepatitis B Antibodies – screens for exposure or immunity to Hepatitis B virus
- Other viral infection markers – evaluated as clinically indicated to assess potential risks to immune function and overall health
Regular sexual health testing promotes safer sexual practices, helps prevent the progression of infections, and supports long-term well-being. Accurate, confidential, and timely results from Fortress Clinical Laboratory empower you to take control of your sexual health, make informed decisions, and protect your overall health and the health of your partners. Proactive testing is a vital step in maintaining reproductive health, immune resilience, and quality of life.
