Health officials have also raised alarms about rising syphilis rates. The Virginia Department of Health has recommended syphilis screening in all seven Hampton Roads cities for all sexually active individuals. Congenital syphilis — where babies are born with the infection — has increased dramatically nationwide, and Hampton Roads has not been immune to this trend.

Who is most at risk? While STIs can affect anyone, local data shows that young people aged 15–24 account for more than half of reported cases. However, health officials note that adults over 60 are an emerging and often overlooked group — many re-entering the dating world after divorce or the loss of a partner without updated knowledge about STI prevention.

Why does Hampton Roads have higher rates? Several factors contribute. The region is home to one of the largest concentrations of military personnel in the world, creating a highly transient population. High rates of partner turnover, inconsistent testing habits, and gaps in access to affordable healthcare all play a role.

What can you do? The most important step is routine testing — even if you have no symptoms. Many STIs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, are often completely asymptomatic. The only way to know your status is to get tested.

At Test Me! Lab Solutions, our Her Panel™ includes STI screening options so women can take control of their health privately and without a doctor's referral. We serve the entire Hampton Roads community and offer mobile testing for those who prefer a more discreet option.

Regular testing is not a sign of irresponsibility — it's a sign of self-respect. Know your status, protect your health, and protect the people you care about.

A C-TPA (Consortium/Third-Party Administrator) is an organization that manages DOT drug and alcohol testing programs on behalf of employers. Under 49 CFR Part 40, any employer with CDL drivers operating vehicles requiring a commercial driver's license must maintain a fully compliant DOT drug and alcohol testing program year-round — not just when a test is needed.

What does a C-TPA actually do? A C-TPA manages your random testing pool, notifies you when a driver is selected for testing, ensures your testing percentages meet DOT requirements, maintains your records, and handles FMCSA Clearinghouse queries and reporting. They also help you maintain a written DOT Drug and Alcohol Policy.

Do I need one? If you have even one CDL driver operating a CMV, the answer is almost certainly yes. Owner-operators and small fleets are required to be enrolled in a consortium. The penalties for non-compliance — including fines and out-of-service orders — are significant.

Test Me! Lab Solutions serves as a C-TPA for trucking companies, logistics firms, and other DOT-regulated employers throughout Hampton Roads. We handle everything so you can focus on running your business. Call us at (757) 937-0160 to get enrolled.

A 5-panel drug test screens for the five most commonly abused substances: marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP. This is the standard panel used for most DOT pre-employment testing and many basic workplace programs.

A 10-panel drug test adds five more substances to the mix: benzodiazepines (like Xanax and Valium), barbiturates, methadone, propoxyphene, and methaqualone. This broader panel is often used by employers in safety-sensitive industries, healthcare, or organizations that want more comprehensive screening.

Which should you choose? For basic pre-employment screening, a 5-panel is typically sufficient and more cost-effective. If your workforce operates in a safety-sensitive environment or you want broader protection, the 10-panel provides more coverage. We also offer a 12-panel screen for the most comprehensive non-DOT testing available.

At Test Me! Lab Solutions, our 5-panel starts at just $49 and our 10-panel at $75. Walk-ins are welcome — no appointment needed for most drug screening services.

The traditional healthcare model puts women in a reactive position — you wait until something feels wrong, make an appointment, wait weeks to be seen, and then wait for results. By the time answers arrive, months have passed. The Her Panel™ was designed to change that.

What does The Her Panel™ test for? Depending on the tier you choose, the panel includes hormone levels (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4), comprehensive metabolic panel, complete blood count, vitamin D, iron studies, and STI screening options. No doctor's referral required — you come in, we collect, you get your results.

Why does this matter in Hampton Roads? Our region has significant health disparities, particularly among Black women, who are disproportionately affected by conditions like fibroids, thyroid disease, and undiagnosed STIs. Direct-access lab testing removes barriers — no insurance required, no referral needed, no judgment.

The Her Panel™ starts at just $79. Book online or walk in. Your health data belongs to you — and knowing your numbers is the first step to owning your wellness.
