Multi-Test in Kathmandu
- Complete screen — the CT/GC, the HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, herpes.
- Site-matched — the ~85–90% extragenital urine-only misses.
- Need-matched — coverage matched to exposure.
- Confidential — private consultations and results.
The Multi-Test — the Complete Coverage
The multi-test STI laboratory is complete screen at one visit — the NAAT (~95% on correct specimen — the CT/GC site-matched), serologies (the HIV 4th-gen ~2–4wk, syphilis two-test ~3–12wk, hepatitis markers — weeks-to-months), and lesion PCR where a fresh sore is present (~2–12d — acute herpes) — fuller picture at a single collection.
The multi-test is need-matched coverage — complete screen where periodic check or exposure warrants — not reflexive-everything, correctly-scoped.
The honest framing: multi-test is correctly-covered — the STI screen complete where risk applies — correctly-scoped being genuine multi-test, not reflexive broad panel.
The Coverage — What the Multi-Test Includes
The multi-test covers complete 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 — antigen-plus-antibody — routine), syphilis ( two-test ~3–12wk — serology), hepatitis (the HBsAg, anti-HCV → RNA two-step — weeks-to-months), and herpes where indicated ( serology ~3–12wk or lesion PCR ~2–12d).
The multi-test is fuller picture — complete screen covered at one collection — tests coordinated on correct chain.
CT/GC NAAT
Site-matched — ~1–2wk — ~95%.
HIV + Syphilis
The 4th-gen ~2–4wk; two-test ~3–12wk.
Hepatitis
The HBV, the HCV — weeks-to-months.
Herpes Where Indicated
The serology or the PCR — by presentation.
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) — not reflexive-everything ( non-indicated tests at package price are over-spend, not value).
The honest framing: multi-test is value where complete screen is needed — coverage matched to actual exposure and risk — correctly-scoped being genuine multi-test.
Periodic Check Applies
The annual or the ~3–6mo — complete screen.
Post-Exposure
The window-opened — complete work-up.
Need-Matched
The coverage matched to actual risk.
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 — multi-test at a single time-point being correctly-timed for tests that answer at that interval.
The honest timing: multi-test 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 multi-test.
~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 multi-test.
After the Multi-Test Screen
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 — 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) — multi-test 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.
