Serology tests are collected through a blood sample (such as from a finger prick or needle draw). Molecular (PCR) tests are collected through the nose with a swab. The swab takes nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat. This can also be done by a saliva test.

In Massachusetts, a variety of STD tests are available to individuals seeking screening for sexually transmitted infections. Here are some of the common tests offered:

1. Chlamydia: A test to detect the presence of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria, which is a common sexually transmitted infection.

2. Gonorrhea: A test to check for the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, another prevalent sexually transmitted infection.

3. Hepatitis B: A test to determine if the individual has been infected with the Hepatitis B virus, which is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids.

4. Hepatitis C: A test to detect the presence of the Hepatitis C virus, which can cause liver inflammation and serious health complications.

5. Herpes I/II: A test to identify antibodies to the Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, which can cause oral and genital herpes.

6. HIV 1/2: A test to screen for antibodies to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

7. Syphilis: A test to diagnose the presence of the Treponema pallidum bacterium, which causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection that can have serious health consequences if left untreated.

8. Trichomoniasis: A test to detect the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite, which causes trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection.

9. HIV RNA Early Detection: A test that detects the genetic material of the HIV virus (RNA) within the blood, allowing for earlier detection of the infection before antibodies are produced.

These tests can be performed individually or as part of comprehensive panels like the Twin STD Panel or the 10-Panel STD Test, which include multiple tests to screen for various sexually transmitted infections. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or a testing facility to determine which tests are recommended based on your risk factors and concerns.
