Sexual health is a critical part of overall wellness, yet it’s something many men overlook often until symptoms arise. But many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are “silent” and don’t show signs until they’ve already caused damage or been passed to others. That’s why routine screening is essential.
At Fusion Healthcare we offer the private comprehensive sexual health screening test; this test provides a comprehensive look at your sexual health through the combination of blood tests and urine analysis. The comprehensive Sexual Health Test is a comprehensive check-up designed for sexually active men who want a thorough, discreet, and accurate look at their sexual health status. This panel goes beyond basic screenings, combining advanced blood tests with a urine test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, offering one of the most complete assessments available today.
This test is recommended within the first 40 days after physical contact for most effectiveness, however, can also be used as a routine screening test.
This panel includes:

Together, these tests screen for the most common and impactful STIs, some of which can cause long-term health complications if left untreated.
The eight components are as follows:
1. Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
This test detects the presence of the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus, which signals an active infection. Hepatitis B can cause liver inflammation, chronic disease, and increase the risk of liver cancer. It’s spread through blood, bodily fluids, and sexual contact.
2. Hepatitis C Antibodies (Hep C Abs)
Detects antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, showing past or current exposure. If positive, further testing (like the Hep C Antigen test) helps determine if the infection is still active.
3. Hepatitis C Antigen (Hep C Ag)
Confirms an active hepatitis C infection. Hepatitis C can be a silent infection for years, often damaging the liver without noticeable symptoms. Early diagnosis is key to cure and prevention of serious liver disease.
4. Syphilis IgG/IgM
This test detects both early (IgM) and longer-term (IgG) antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the bacteria that causes syphilis. Syphilis is a highly infectious STI that progresses in stages. If left untreated, it can cause severe complications affecting the brain, nerves, heart, and other organs.
5. HIV-1 & HIV-2 Antibodies / p24 Antigen
This is a fourth-generation HIV screening test, which combines the detection of HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen (present early in infection). This allows detection within 2–4 weeks of exposure, much earlier than antibody-only tests.
6. Chlamydia (Urine Test)
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs, especially among younger, sexually active individuals. It’s often asymptomatic, but can cause painful urination, discharge, and, in severe cases, infertility if untreated. The urine test is accurate and non-invasive.
7. Gonorrhoea (Urine Test)
Gonorrhoea often presents with few or no symptoms, especially in men. If symptoms do appear, they may include burning urination and discharge. Like chlamydia, untreated gonorrhoea can lead to serious reproductive complications. The same urine sample used for chlamydia also screens for gonorrhoea.
1. Covers the Most Common Infections
This comprehensive panel tests for infections that are frequently spread through sexual contact, many of which show no early symptoms. It includes bacterial, viral, and retroviral infections, making it an ideal all-in-one screen.
2. Early Detection for Better Outcomes
Many STIs, especially HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis, can be managed or even cured when detected early. This test helps identify infections in their earliest stages, sometimes within weeks of exposure, long before symptoms develop.
3. Protecting Your Partners
Regular testing protects not only your health, but the health of your sexual partners. Many infections, like Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, can be transmitted without any noticeable symptoms. Knowing your status means you can act responsibly and reduce the risk of transmission.
4. Peace of Mind
One of the most overlooked benefits of STI testing is mental clarity. Whether you’re starting a new relationship, getting married, have had multiple partners, or just want to feel confident, this test provides reassurance and eliminates the stress of uncertainty. If you are getting married, you may want to view our ‘pre-marriage blood test’.
5. Quick, Discreet, and Accurate
A single visit with a blood sample and urine sample is all that’s needed. Results are typically available within a few days, and testing is private and secure.
This enhanced panel is recommended for:
