Blood Test + PCR Test — Why This Combination?
Most standard STD screens use blood antibody testing only. This package goes further by combining two different detection methods that work at different stages of infection — giving you a more complete picture than either test alone.
Blood Test — Detects Your Body's Response
Your immune system produces antibodies when it detects an infection.
The blood test measures these antibodies to identify HIV, Syphilis,
Chlamydia, and Herpes. Reliable for identifying past and current exposure. |
PCR Test — Detects the Infection Directly
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) directly detects the DNA of the bacteria
or virus itself — without waiting for your body to produce antibodies.
Earlier and more accurate for active bacterial infections. |
Combined — More Complete Protection
Neither test alone covers everything. Blood tests can miss very early
active infections. PCR tests do not cover viruses like HIV and Herpes.
Together they leave far fewer gaps in your sexual health screening. |
Laboratory-Based Test — Not a Rapid Test
This is a laboratory-based test, not a rapid test. Your blood and urine samples are sent to an accredited diagnostic laboratory for professional analysis — ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
Rapid tests give results in 15 to 30 minutes but are less sensitive. They can miss early infections where virus or bacteria levels are still low. For STD screening, accuracy matters more than speed.
Results: 3 to 5 working days after sample collection.
Your doctor will contact you to arrange a follow-up consultation
for full report analysis and personalised advice. |
What Is Included — Full Test Panel
Blood Test — Antibody Detection
- HIV Ag/Ab Screening — detects HIV antigen and antibody for early and established infection
- Syphilis TPA (RPR if reactive) — highly sensitive syphilis antibody test
- Chlamydia trachomatis IgG — antibody detection for past or current Chlamydia exposure
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type I IgG — oral herpes antibody
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type II IgG — genital herpes antibody
PCR Test — Direct DNA Detection
- Chlamydia trachomatis PCR — confirms active Chlamydia infection with higher accuracy
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae (CTNG) PCR — detects active Gonorrhoea infection
- Trichomonas vaginalis PCR — detects most common curable STI worldwide
- Mycoplasma PCR — detects Mycoplasma linked to urethritis and reproductive complications
Note: Chlamydia is tested by both blood and PCR methods. The blood test shows past or current exposure through antibodies. The PCR test confirms whether there is an active infection right now — giving the most complete Chlamydia assessment.
Doctor Consultation — Included
- Full report analysis — your doctor explains every result clearly
- Risk assessment and personalised counselling based on your results
- Guidance on treatment or further testing if required

Confidentiality & Privacy
All STD screening at Klinik Caring is handled with the utmost confidentiality and respect for your privacy. Your results will only be shared with you privately during your doctor consultation.
IMPORTANT — Mandatory Reporting under Malaysian Law
In accordance with the Malaysian Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases
Act 1988 (Act 342), confirmed cases of certain infections — including HIV,
Syphilis, and Hepatitis B & C — are required by law to be reported to the
Ministry of Health Malaysia.
This is a legal obligation that applies to all registered clinics in Malaysia,
not a choice made by the clinic.
All other aspects of your visit and results remain strictly private and
confidential, and will never be disclosed to any third party without your consent. |
Who Should Get This Test?
- Anyone who is sexually active and wants a more thorough STD check than a basic blood test
- Those with a new or multiple partners
- Anyone with symptoms such as unusual discharge, burning urination, or sores
- Couples planning a pregnancy who want a comprehensive baseline screen
- Anyone who wants earlier detection of bacterial infections like Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea
- Singapore patients visiting Johor Bahru for a thorough sexual health check
Many STIs show no symptoms at all. The only way to know your status with confidence is to test — using a method accurate enough to catch what symptoms cannot reveal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the blood test and PCR test in this package?
A: They test for different infections using different methods. The blood test detects antibodies for HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Herpes. The PCR test directly detects the DNA of Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Trichomonas, and Mycoplasma. Together they provide more complete coverage than either test alone.
Q: Why is Chlamydia tested twice?
A: The blood test detects Chlamydia antibodies — showing past or current exposure. The PCR test detects Chlamydia DNA directly — confirming whether there is an active infection right now. Using both gives the most complete and accurate assessment of your Chlamydia status.
Q: Is this a rapid test or a laboratory test?
A: This is a laboratory-based test, not a rapid test. Samples are analysed at an accredited diagnostic laboratory for maximum accuracy. Results are available within 3 to 5 working days.
Q: Why is a lab test better than a rapid test?
A: Rapid tests are fast but less sensitive — they can miss early infections where virus levels are still low. Laboratory tests detect infections at much lower concentrations, making them significantly more accurate. For STD screening, accuracy matters more than speed.
Q: Do I need to book an appointment?
A: Yes, appointment is required. Please book in advance via WhatsApp to ensure a smooth and private experience. Walk-ins are welcome subject to availability, but pre-booking is strongly recommended to avoid waiting.
Q: How long does it take to get results?
A: Results are available within 3 to 5 working days after sample collection. Your doctor will contact you to arrange a follow-up consultation for full report analysis and personalised advice.
Q: Is this test confidential?
A: Yes. All results are shared privately with you during your doctor consultation. Under Malaysian law (Act 342), confirmed cases of certain notifiable infections must be reported to the Ministry of Health — this is a legal obligation for all registered clinics in Malaysia.
