Testing Packages in Kathmandu
- Complete periodic — annual or the ~3–6mo screen.
- Focused-exposure — post-exposure work-up.
- Couple-package — both-partners-tested.
- Package value = need-matched — correctly-scoped.
The STI Testing Packages — the Need-Matched Value
The STI testing packages are need-matched screen options — correctly-scoped packages: complete periodic (the CT/GC + the HIV + syphilis + hepatitis + herpes where indicated — the ~70%-silent-majority caught), focused-exposure ( post-exposure work-up — specific infections exposure produced, at correctly-timed interval), and couple-package ( both-partners-tested — reinfection prevention — the ~10% where partner is untreated).
The package value is correctly-scoped — need-matched screen at package rate below individual sum where periodic check or focused-exposure applies — value being correctly-scoped at package price, not reflexive broad panel.
The honest framing: package is correctly-scoped-at-package-rate — need-matched being genuine value — reflexive-everything where not needed being over-spend, not value.
The Complete Periodic — the ~70%-Silent Screen
The complete periodic is fuller screen — the ~70%-asymptomatic being reason: the CT/GC NAAT ( site-matched — the ~85–90% extragenital urine-only misses — the ~1–2wk window), the HIV 4th-gen (~2–4wk), syphilis ( two-test ~3–12wk), hepatitis (the HBsAg, anti-HCV → RNA — weeks-to-months), and herpes where indicated — complete picture at one visit.
The complete is value where periodic check applies — the ~70%-silent-majority caught by correctly-scoped complete screen.
CT/GC + HIV + Syphilis + Hepatitis
The complete STI screen.
~70% Silent Caught
The asymptomatic-majority — periodic value.
Site-Matched
The ~85–90% extragenital covered.
Periodic Frequency
The annual or the ~3–6mo — by risk.
The Focused-Exposure — the Post-Exposure Work-Up
The focused-exposure is post-exposure work-up — specific infections exposure produced (the CT/GC NAAT ~1–2wk, the HIV 4th-gen ~2–4wk or the RNA ~10–33d where very-recent, syphilis ~3–12wk, hepatitis weeks-to-months) — at correctly-timed interval.
The focused is correctly-scoped for exposure — specific infections plus the PEP ~72h where the HIV-risk applies — correctly-timed work-up being genuine value.
Post-Exposure Work-Up
The specific infections — correctly-timed.
PEP ~72h
Where the HIV-risk applies — urgent.
Correctly-Timed
The interval-matched — reliable answer.
Focused Value
The correctly-scoped — not reflexive.
The Couple-Package — the Both-Partners-Tested
The couple-package is both-partners-tested — reinfection prevention (the ~10% reinfection where partner is untreated — the "ping-pong" — both-tested-treated preventing) — correctly-scoped for couples where shared-exposure or relationship-stage applies.
The couple-package is confidential-individual — partners tested individually-confidentially ( individual results to each, not shared — privacy intact) — both-covered being value.
Both-Partners-Tested
The reinfection prevention — ~10% where untreated.
Confidential-Individual
The results to each — privacy intact.
Shared-Exposure Applies
Where couples exposure is context.
Both-Covered Value
The couple-rate below individual sum.
After the Package Screen

The organism-matched — same-visit treatment.
Partner Managed
