Why this test?
This panel is designed for individuals who are using or planning to start Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) as part of their HIV prevention strategy. It includes testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as assessment of kidney and liver function to ensure the medication remains safe and appropriate.

Regular testing confirms HIV-negative status, allows early detection of infections, and monitors organ function during treatment.
