Each objective is a clinical-laboratory application skill, not disease biology or treatment advice.

  • Map STI molecular panel orders to clinical question, usual specimen, target, method, controls, result categories, and limitations
  • Explain that assay menus and acceptable specimen types are institutional, one commercial workflow is not universal
  • State why nucleic acid detection does not by itself prove active disease significance alone without assay and clinical context
