Accurate and rapid diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is a major global public health priority, especially in the developing world. Since the emergence of HIV/AIDS, it has become even more critical to diagnose STDs early, not only to save lives but also to prevent the spread of life-threatening infections.
The answer is accurate, easy and innovative technology from Inverness Medical

Who should be tested?
It is recommended that the following people who face a higher risk be tested :
# Drug addicts who inject drugs and have been sharing needles or syringes
# Use of unprotected blood products or transfusion with infected blood
# Healthcare peoples who take blood without precautions
# Prisoners
# Prostitutes
# People with sexually transmitted diseases (STD)
# Men and women with more than one sex partners
# Unprotected sex with infected persons
# The person who realizes, having been in contact with any of the objects, which spreads HIV.
# Orasure is a non-invasive, quick, accurate way to test for HIV-1 antibodies without blood, needles, or lancets.
# The only FDA approved HIV-1 collection device that may be legally marketed in the U.S.
# A complete diagnostic system that is approved for professional use.
# Orasure is a rapid HIV diagnostic tool with over 99% accuracy.
The ImmunoCheck HIV antibody test is a simple blood test which detects the presence of antibodies to HIV 1 and HIV 2. The HIV antibody is a protein naturally produced in the body in response to an infection by the HIV. The antibody screening test is important because it provides you with an early indication that you have been infected with the HIV. Early indication can help minimize the likelihood of developing an illness related to AIDS.
However you need to know that the antibody test is not a test for the disease AIDS - it does not tell you if you have AIDS.
It will only show whether you have come into contact with the virus which may cause AIDS.
Chlamydia is a very common bacterial infection, affecting both men and women. Because Chlamydia is passed from person to person during sex (vaginal, anal and oral), it is known as a sexually transmitted infection (STI or STD). Chlamydia is the UK's most prevalent sexually transmitted infection and is caused by a tiny bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis. Although Chlamydia is easily treated (b y a short course of antibiotics) it is a problematic disease because, in the early stages of infection, about 75% of women and up to 50% of men do not have any symptoms.
When Chlamydia is diagnosed it is easily treated and cured. However, left untreated Chlamydia can spread infection to the cervix and fallopian tubes and ultimately lead to infertility: Chlamydia is the most common preventable cause of infertility in women. If you are pregnant and have Chlamydia, the infection can also be passed on to your baby. In men, Chlamydia can cause epidydimitis (inflammation of the reproductive area.)
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a protein antigen produced by HBV. This antigen is the earliest indicator of acute hepatitis B and frequently identifies infected people before symptoms appear. HBsAg disappears from the blood during the recovery period. In some people (particularly those infected as children or those with a weak immune system, such as those with AIDS), chronic infection with HBV may occur and HBsAg remains positive.
Home Bio Test Hepatitis B rapid test determines if antibodies to the hepatitis B virus exist in your body. This test is easy-to-use in your own home and guarantees complete confidentiality.
The Silent Killer, Hepatitis B is a growing public health concern. Home Bio Test gives you a way to obtain a confidential answer to the question of your own Hepatitis status.
The HCV Ab (also called Anti-HCV) test detects the presence of antibodies to the virus, indicating exposure to HCV. These tests cannot tell if you still have an active viral infection, only that you were exposed to the virus in the past. The test is reported as “positive” or “negative.”
Home Bio Test Hepatitis C rapid test determines if antibodies to the hepatitis B virus exist in your body. This test is easy-to-use in your own home and guarantees complete confidentiality.
The Silent Killer, Hepatitis C is a growing public health concern. Home Bio Test gives you a way to obtain a confidential answer to the question of your own Hepatitis status.
Gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) is a very common STD; Gonorrhea is a purulent inflammation of mucous membrane surfaces caused by a sexually transmitted microorganism, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Virtually any mucous membrane can be infected. This bacterial infection may at first cause a slight discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus. If the Gonorrhea infection is not treated, it can lead to sterility and other complications.
This Home Bio Test Gonorrhea Test is a rapid direct binding test for the visual detection of gonorrhea antigen in both men & women; using a secretory specimen and urine from the urogenital system, used as an aid in the diagnosis of gonococcus infection with the latest in Colloidal Gold Technology
Syphilis (Treponema Pallidum) the first symptoms of Syphilis infection may go undetected. The initial symptom is a chancre; it is usually a painless open sore that usually appears on the penis or around or in the vagina. It can also occur near the mouth, anus, or on the hands. If untreated, syphilis may go on to more advanced stages.
The Syphilis Home Self test Kit is an at-home FDA approved doctor recommended test that offers over 99.9% accuracy.
