Service Providers for Semen for GeneXpert(MTB)
The GeneXpert MTB test for semen detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA, used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in men with suspected genital TB. The process involves collecting a semen sample, which is then processed and tested using the GeneXpert machine for MTB DNA. No special preparation is required, but avoiding contamination is crucial. Risks are minimal, though slight discomfort may occur during collection. Results are available within hours, indicating either the presence or absence of TB. Conditions like sample contamination or poor quality can affect accuracy. Positive results confirm TB; negative results may require further testing for confirmation.
