Pathology Results
Screening for STI/BBV's is through pathology testing. The pathology labs send back a variety of test names and some test names cover more than one test.
A list of the pathology test names for each STI/BBV is provided here: Appendix Pathology Result Names.
Notes:
QML lab sends back Gonorrhoea and Trichomoniasis results under test names that have the main label of "Chlamydia" (in various forms). The effect of this mislabelling by the pathology company is that the graphs will show an under reporting of Gonorrhoea and Trichomoniasis screening.
