THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. Hepatitis C, syphilis serology and genital PCR targets are not included.
HIV-1/2 antigen-antibody testing and hepatitis B surface antigen are the two included assays behind the three-infection display.
Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. Hepatitis C, syphilis serology and genital PCR targets are not included.
Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.
MAKE THE SAMPLE COUNT.
Preparation follows the actual specimen and tests in STD Essentials. Confirm your personal instructions before collection.

Preparation follows the test.
Confirm the instructions for blood and the appropriate collection arrangements. Correct identification, specimen choice and timing support a useful result.
Laboratory work, behind the finding.
Intel Lab processes the sample and checks the report. The package lists 24 hours; collection timing and any additional laboratory checks may affect release.
A finding, placed in your context.
Read the report with the reason for testing. A clinician can explain unexpected findings, relevant limitations and whether any further assessment is appropriate.

THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.
Review any reactive blood-screen result with the clinical team. The exact assay determines what confirmation or further testing is appropriate, and recent exposure may require a later repeat sample.
Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
A focused blood-based sexual-health screen. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.
The combined HIV assay covers HIV-1 and HIV-2; hepatitis B surface antigen is the other included assay.
The timing depends on the infection and test. Very early tests may be negative; discuss the exposure and an appropriate testing plan.
Not necessarily. A reactive HIV antigen-antibody screen needs the appropriate confirmation pathway; hepatitis B surface antigen also needs clinical follow-up.
No. Hepatitis B surface antigen is not the antibody test used to assess vaccine-related immunity.
This package does not require fasting for this testing. Confirm whether any additional tests in your booking change that instruction; do not alter prescribed medicines without advice.
Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.
The package price is AED 199; the listed turnaround is 24 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.
Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.
