How Do NAAT Tests Detect Tiny Amounts Of STI DNA? - Sex Health Expert

Описание: How Do NAAT Tests Detect Tiny Amounts Of STI DNA? Have you ever wondered how modern tests detect tiny amounts of STI DNA or RNA? In this informative video, we'll explain the process behind nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and how they are used to diagnose infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea. We'll start by discussing how these tests target specific genetic sequences unique to each pathogen, using specially designed primers that latch onto the pathogen’s genetic material in a sample. We’ll then explain how amplification techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) work by copying these genetic sequences repeatedly, often millions of times, without changing their original structure. This exponential process allows the detection of very small amounts of pathogen DNA or RNA, even when the infection shows no symptoms. Once amplified, the test uses fluorescent markers or signals to identify whether the genetic material is present, providing highly accurate results. This sensitivity is essential for early detection, helping prevent the spread of infections and reducing health complications. If you’re concerned about STIs or want to learn more about testing options, this video is for you. Remember, consulting a healthcare professional is always the best step if you suspect an infection.
