Sexual Health Shanghai is able to provide you with whole integrated solution of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) Testing and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) Testing in Shanghai by its strategy partner – Shanghai Mei Zhong Clinical Laboratory which is Shanghai First Independent Clinical Laboratory since 2004.
HIV 1/2 antibody Blood Test - Shanghai
HIV antibody tests are the most appropriate test for routine diagnosis of HIV among adults. Antibody tests are inexpensive and very accurate. The ELISA antibody test (enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent) also known as EIA (enzyme immunoassay) was the first HIV test to be widely used.
Chlamydia Test – Urine Test, NAA - Shanghai
Chlamydia tests use a sample of body fluid or urine to see whether Chlamydia bacteria (Chlamydia trachomatis) are present and causing an infection. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) find the genetic material (DNA) of Chlamydia bacteria. These tests are the most sensitive tests available. This means they are very accurate and that they are very unlikely to have false-positive test results. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is an example of a nucleic acid amplification test. This test can also be done on a urine sample.
Gonorrhea Test – Urine Test, NAA - Shanghai
Gonorrhea tests involve testing a sample of body fluid or urine to determine if gonorrhea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) are present and may be the cause of an infection. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). NAATs detect and make many copies of the genetic material (DNA) of gonorrhea bacteria. NAATs include polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) and transcription mediated amplification (TMA). These tests are very accurate and can be done either on a urine specimen or a sample of body fluid from the potentially infected area.
Hepatitis (A, B and C) Blood Profile - Shanghai
( HBsAg,HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb,HBcAb and HBV-DNA(Quantitative))
This test is used to help diagnose a liver infection due to the hepatitis A, B or C virus. There are several causes of hepatitis and the accompanying symptoms, so this test is used to determine if your symptoms are due to hepatitis A, B or C.
HbsAg Test - Shanghai
HBsAg is the surface antigen of the Hepatitis-B-Virus (HBV). It indicates current Hepatitis B infection.
HbsAb Test - Shanghai
The HBsAb test looks for antibodies that your immune system makes in response to the surface protein of the hepatitis B virus.
When HBsAb is positive (antibodies are present), it usually means that you have recovered from hepatitis B infection and have some immunity, or that you once received the hepatitis B vaccination and are immune.
HbeAg Test - Shanghai
HBeAg stands for hepatitis B "e" antigen. This antigen is a protein from the hepatitis B virus that circulates in infected blood when the virus is actively replicating. The presence of HBeAg suggests that the person is infectious and is able to spread the virus to other people.
HbeAb - Shanghai
Antibodies to the 'e' antigen (HBeAb) normally appears a few weeks after HBeAg is no longer detectable. The presence of HBeAb is generally taken to be a good sign and indicates a favourable prognosis.
HbcAb - Shanghai
This stands for Hepatitis B core Antibody. Your body's immune system produces this antibody in response to a protein in the hepatitis B virus called the hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). A positive HBcAb test can mean you have an acute or a past hepatitis B infection. To determine which stage you're in, doctors must test for additional antibodies or antigens in your blood.
HBV-DNA (Quantitative) - Shanghai
HBV DNA carries the genetic blueprint of the virus. How many HBV DNA “particles” or “copies” are found in your blood indicates how rapidly the virus is reproducing in your liver. To measure your HBV DNA level or “viral load,” clinicians will take a blood sample and send it to a laboratory. The lab measures how many HBV DNA copies are found in a milliliter (about one drop) of blood. High levels of HBV-DNA, ranging from 100,000 to more than 1 billion viral copies per milliliter, indicate a high rate of HBV replication in your liver. Low or undetectable levels, about 300 copies per milliliter or less, indicate an “inactive” infection.
Hepatitis A Antibody IgM - Shanghai
The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a small, 27 nm RNA virus. It is transmitted primarily by the fecal-oral route, and is found more commonly in situations where unsanitary conditions and/or close contact among individuals exist. Measurement of the HAV IgM antibody is the preferred diagnostic test for acute infection. A positive IgM anti-HAV test result in a person without symptoms of hepatitis A might indicate: Asymptomatic acute HAV infection; previous hepatitis A infection with prolonged presence of IgM anti-HAV and False positive test result.
Hepatitis C Antibody - HCV-IgG - Shanghai
HCV IgG ELISA is an enzyme-linked immuniosorbent assay (ELISA) for the qualitative determination of antibody Hepatitis C Virus human serum or plasma
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 and 2 IgG Blood Test (Elective – IgM and DNA Test) - Shanghai
This herpes blood test is a serologic type-specific IgG-based assay. Recommended by the CDC, this test looks for antibodies that are specific to the Herpes I virus and the Herpes II virus. An accurate screening involves either a positive culture that has been typed (1 or 2), or a blood test that accurately distinguishes between Herpes types 1 and 2. If you test positive for HSV-1, it is most likely oral herpes. If you test positive for HSV-2, it is most likely genital herpes.
Syphilis (RPR) - Blood Test (Elective – TPPA Test) - Shanghai
RPR (rapid plasma reagin) is a screening test for syphilis. It looks for antibodies that are present in the blood of people who have the disease.Treponema Pallidum Particle Agglutination Testing (TPPA) is used to detect antibodies to the various species and subspecies of pathogenic Treponema, including the cansitive agent of syphilis, Treponema pallidum.
Gardnerella (BV) - Urine Test (Elective - BV-6 Test) - Shanghai
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is an infection, which can be caused by a number of bacteria, including Gardnerella Vaginalis. Women with BV will have an altered PH balance in their vagina, which is more alkaline than normal.
Mycoplasma Test – Urine Test (Elective MP-Ab and MP-DNA Test) - Shanghai
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. Several species are pathogenic in humans, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M. genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases.
Ureaplasma Test – Urine Test (Ureaplasma Urealyticum DNA by PCR) - Shanghai
Urealyticum is part of the normal genital flora of both men and women. It is found in about 70% of sexually active humans. It had also been described to be associated with a number of diseases in humans, including non-specific urethritis (NSU), infertility, chorioamnionitis, stillbirth, premature birth, and, in the perinatal period, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and meningitis.
HPV Test - (HPV-26 DNA) - Shanghai
The human papillomavirus (HPV) test is a DNA test that detects the presence of human papillomavirus in cells taken from your cervix. Infection with some types of HPV can lead to the development of genital warts, abnormal cervical cells or cervical cancer. The HPV test is available only to women; no HPV test yet exists to detect the virus in men. However, men can be infected with HPV and pass the virus along to their sex partners. In men, HPV infection has also been linked to anal and penile cancer.
CMV Test (CMV-IgG & IgM) - Shanghai
Cytomegalovirus is a herpes viral genus of the Herpesviruses group: in humans it is commonly known as HCMV or Human Herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). HCMV infections are frequently associated with salivary glands, though they may be found throughout the body. HCMV infection can also be life threatening for patients who are immunocompromised (e.g. patients with HIV, organ transplant recipients, or neonates). Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies may be found in the blood: IgM and IgG. IgM antibodies are the first to be produced by the body in response to a CMV infection.
Coxsackieviruses Test (coxsackie virus antibody test) - Shanghai
This test measures the amount of antibodies to the coxsackie virus in blood. It is used to help diagnose a suspected coxsackie virus infection. Coxsackieviruses are part of the enterovirus family of viruses (which also includes polioviruses and hepatitis A virus) that live in the human digestive tract. They can spread from person to person, usually on unwashed hands and surfaces contaminated by feces, where they can live for several days. In most cases, coxsackieviruses cause mild flu-like symptoms and go away without treatment. But in some cases, they can lead to more serious infections.
Epstein-Barr virus Test (EB-VCA-IgA&IgG&IgM & EB-VEA-IgA&IgG&IgM Test) - Shanghai
Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. The virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. Symptoms of infectious mononucleosis are fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. Sometimes, a swollen spleen or liver involvement may develop. the laboratory tests for EBV are for the most part accurate and specific. Because the antibody response in primary EBV infection appears to be quite rapid, in most cases testing paired acute- and convalescent-phase serum samples will not demonstrate a significant change in antibody level.
Tuberculosis antibody test (TB-Ab) - Shanghai
The One Step TB Test is a chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to M. Tuberculosis in human serum. This test is intended for professional use as an aid in the detection of antibodies against M. Tuberculosis in human serum. Three specially selected TB recombinant proteins are used in test band as capture materials and gold conjugates. These enable the Rapid TB Test to identify antibodies to TB in human serum, with a high degree of accuracy.
Helicobacter pylori - HP-Ab(IgG、IgM)- Shanghai
Helicobacter pylori tests are used to detect a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). H. pylori can cause peptic ulcers; however, most people with H. pylori in their digestive systems do not develop ulcers. Blood antibody test checks to see whether your body has made antibodies to H. pylori bacteria. If you have antibodies to H. pylori in your blood, it means you either are currently infected or have been infected in the past.
TCT - Thinprep cytologic test - Shanghai
Liquid-based cytology (brand name ThinPrep), cervical cells are rinsed in a preservative solution before examination; the same sample can also be tested for the presence of HPV.
Pap smear - Shanghai
A Pap smear (Pap test) is a test of a sample of cells taken from a woman's cervix. The test is used to look for changes in the cells of the cervix that show cervical cancer or conditions that may develop into cancer. It is the best tool to detect precancerous conditions and hidden, small tumors that may lead to cervical cancer. If detected early, cervical cancer can be cured. Pap screen testing should begin at age 21. Routine screening is recommended every two years for women 21-29 years old. For certain women 30 years and older who have had three consecutive normal screening test results, testing can be done every three years.
