The Midwest’s most Progressive Clinical Laboratory Service

STI Testing by Molecular PCR

NTL Laboratory provides discrete, minimally fast, and accurate STI testing services throughout the Greater Chicagoland area.

Our STI testing services use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis to gather small amounts of DNA from bodily fluid and then test this sample of your genetic material or the presence of sexually transmitted infections. Testing for sexually transmitted infections using a PCR test is widely recognized as the best diagnostic tool because of its high sensitivity and specificity.

If you think you have an STI, do not continue to engage in any sexual act, and contact us right away. Detecting a sexually transmitted infection and being able to treat it in its early stages is vitally important to prevent serious long-term complications. Untreated STIs can result in infertility, ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer, and death.

Who Needs STI Testing Services?

Testing for sexually transmitted infections is something that is extremely important especially if you are sexually active or if you or a partner are experiencing signs or symptoms. Although STIs can affect everyone and our STI testing services are trusted by a variety of people, some are at a higher risk of contracting an STI than others.

Many STIs can be asymptomatic or do not exhibit clear and distinctive symptoms, so it’s recommended to get tested yearly and before engaging in sexual activity with a new partner.
