STD Information
HIV: HIV infection is the world's most deadly epidemic. The HIV virus is transmitted through blood borne contact with an infected person. Many infected persons mistake symptoms for the flu or comparable viral-type infections. When a person has become infected with HIV, the body produces antibodies to the virus. For most people, these antibodies can be detected in a blood test by the time 2 to 12 weeks have passed since the exposure. In some cases, it can take up to 6 months. For this reason, it is very important to be aware that a negative (-) HIV test after a potential exposure may not mean an absence of HIV infection. This period of time between transmission of the HIV virus from one person to another and when the HIV can be detected by a blood test is called the "window period". buy now
Hepatitis C: HCV is a major cause of acute hepatitis and chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Globally, an estimated 170 million persons are chronically infected with HCV and 3 to 4 million persons are newly infected each year. HCV is spread primarily by direct contact with human blood. The major causes of HCV infection worldwide are use of unscreened blood transfusions, and re-use of needles and syringes that have not been adequately sterilized. buy now
Hepatitis B: Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver, and the most common cause is infection with one of 5 viruses, called hepatitis A,B,C,D, and E. All of these viruses can cause an acute disease with symptoms lasting several weeks including yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice); dark urine; extreme fatigue; nausea; vomiting and abdominal pain. It can take several months to a year to feel fit again. Hepatitis B virus can cause chronic infection in which the patient never gets rid of the virus and many years later can develop into cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. HBV is the most serious type of viral hepatitis and the only type causing chronic hepatitis for which a vaccine is available. buy now
Chlamydia: Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that affects 1 in 10 women between the ages of 16 and 24. Chlamydia is most common in younger women and is likely to cause serious complications if left undetected. It often presents no symptoms and if left untreated can lead to lead to complications such as inflammation of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis), inflammation of the womb (cervicitis), pelvic inflammation disease (PID) and infertility. buy now
Diabetes: Diabetes affects over 2 million people in the UK
Menopause: A small portion of women cease menstruating abruptly with no previous signs of irregularity. But the majority of women experience menstrual irregularity and therefore need confirmation that they are experiencing post menopause. With this test a woman can determine if she is experiencing peri-menopause or post menopause to enable her to seek guidance and appropriate advice from her physician. FSH levels normally vary between 10 and 20 miU/ml in woman. After transition into post menopause these increase to over 25mU/ml. buy now
Stomach Ulcer: It is estimated half of the world's population is infected by the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori.H. pylori has been known as a Class 1 Cancerogen since 1994 (World Health Organisation). People have a 6-7 times higher risk for stomach carcinoma if H. pylori positive. No symptoms are normally present during the first years of infection of H. pylori. H. pylori causes chronic gastritis in the stomach and duopdenum, then later causing the formation of ulcers. Once diagnosed it is easily treatable with antibiotics and after positive eradication the re-infection rate is very low. buy now
Cholesterol: 2 out of 3 people have raised cholesterol levels and everyone should regularly monitor their cholesterol level as even if you lead a healthy lifestyle you still may have a high cholesterol level. A high cholesterol level is a risk factor for hardening of the arteries, stroke and cardiac arrest. Early detection along with lifestyle changes will help to decrease the risks. buy now
Prostate Cancer: Simple blood test that looks for elevated levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in men. PSA is a substance made by the prostate gland, which naturally leaks into the bloodstream. A raised PSA level can be due to conditions such as enlargement of the prostate gland, prostatitis or urinary infection. It can also be an early indicator of prostate cancer. Each year, around 32,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK Ireland
Multi Drug Abuse: Many parents worry about their children becoming involved with drugs. Employers have a duty to ensure as far as reasonably possible that their employees are not a danger to themselves, other employees or members of the public by consuming drugs of abuse (either on or off the premises).The idea of testing urine for the presence of drugs of abuse is to deter your child or staff from using drugs. This test provides rapid information regarding the possible use of 6 commonly abused drugs. Test for the six most common drugs taken Cocaine, Cannabis, Opiates, Amphetamines, and Methamphetamines & Benzodiazepines. buy now
Bowel Cancer: Cancer of the bowel is the third most common cancer in the UK
Urine Infection: Infections of the urinary tract are the second most common type of infection in the body. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for about 8.3 million doctor visits each year.* Women are especially prone to UTIs for reasons that are not yet well understood. One woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime. UTIs in men are not as common as in women but can be very serious when they do occur. The condition ranges from cystitis (a mild but disturbing inflammation that is limited to the bladder) to severe infections of the kidneys. 70% of all UTI's are usually caused by the bacteria E coli from the patients own bowels. This test detects indirect signs of infection not normally present in urine. buy now
