STD test

Infection detection panel

An STD test is a medical screening for sexually transmitted diseases—infections passed through sexual contact.

The term covers various tests for conditions like chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis: You should get an STD test if you have a new partner.

Sometimes called STI test, using the newer term "infection" rather than "disease."
