Complete Panel in Kathmandu
- Complete screen — the CT/GC, the HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, herpes.
- Site-matched — the ~85–90% extragenital covered.
- Less-common covered — mycoplasma, trichomoniasis where warranted.
- Confidential — private consultations and results.
The Complete Panel — the Fuller Coverage
The complete STI panel is fuller coverage — site-matched NAAT (~95% — the CT/GC plus extragenital coverage — the ~85–90% extragenital urine-only misses), serologies (the HIV 4th-gen ~2–4wk, syphilis two-test ~3–12wk, hepatitis markers), lesion PCR where a fresh sore is present (~2–12d — acute herpes), and less-common organisms where warranted ( mycoplasma, trichomoniasis — panel-missed where refractory-pattern applies).
The "complete" is fuller-coverage — correctly-scoped complete screen where periodic check or exposure warrants — less-common covered where refractory-pattern or fuller-coverage applies.
The honest framing: complete is correctly-covered — complete screen where risk applies — correctly-scoped being genuine complete, not reflexive broad panel ( non-indicated tests at panel price are over-spend, not value).
The Coverage — What the Complete Panel Includes
The complete panel covers fuller STI screen: the CT/GC NAAT ( site-matched — the ~85–90% extragenital urine-only misses — the ~1–2wk window), the HIV 4th-gen (~2–4wk — routine), syphilis ( two-test ~3–12wk), hepatitis (the HBsAg, anti-HCV → RNA — weeks-to-months), herpes where indicated ( serology ~3–12wk or lesion PCR ~2–12d), and less-common ( mycoplasma, trichomoniasis — where refractory-pattern or fuller-coverage applies).
The complete is fuller-coverage — correctly-scoped complete screen — tests coordinated on correct chain.
CT/GC NAAT
Site-matched — ~1–2wk — ~95%.
HIV + Syphilis + Hepatitis
The serologies — the ~2–4wk, ~3–12wk, weeks-to-months.
Herpes Where Indicated
The serology or the PCR — by presentation.
Less-Common Covered
The mycoplasma, trichomoniasis — where warranted.
The Correct Scoping — the Need-Matched
The correct scoping is need-matched — complete screen where periodic check or exposure warrants ( annual for at-risk, the ~3–6mo for higher-risk, post-exposure where window has opened, refractory-pattern where less-common applies) — not reflexive-everything ( non-indicated tests at panel price are over-spend).
The honest framing: complete is correctly-covered — fuller where risk applies, correctly-scoped being genuine complete — not reflexive broad panel.
Periodic Check Applies
The annual or the ~3–6mo — complete screen.
Post-Exposure
The window-opened — complete work-up.
Refractory-Pattern
The less-common — where refractory applies.
Not Reflexive
The correctly-scoped — not reflexive-everything.
The Windows — the Multi-Test Timing
The windows are per-test biological constraints — the ~1–2wk CT/GC, the ~2–4wk HIV, the ~3–12wk syphilis, the ~2–12d lesion, weeks-to-months hepatitis — complete panel at a single time-point being correctly-timed for tests that answer at that interval.
The honest timing: complete panel at correct interval covers tests that answer at that point — longer-window tests ( syphilis, hepatitis) at later interval where exposure is recent — timed coverage being correct complete.
~1–2wk CT/GC
The NAAT window — bacterial detection.
~2–4wk HIV
The 4th-gen — antigen-plus-antibody.
~3–12wk Syphilis
The serology — antibodies.
Timed Coverage
The correctly-timed complete.
After the Complete Result
A positive is managed at same service — organism-matched treatment (the CT doxycycline, the GC ceftriaxone, syphilis stage-matched penicillin, the HIV the ART pathway, less-common organism-matched — complete management), partner care, and follow-up.
A negative is interpreted — against timing and coverage — periodic screen frequency stated (~annual or ~3–6mo by risk) — complete being ongoing preventive detection, not one-off.
Positive → Managed
The organism-matched — same-visit treatment.
Partner Managed
The reinfection prevention.
Periodic Frequency
The annual or the ~3–6mo — by risk.
Complete Pathway
The detection → management at same service.
