👉 Swabbed is a medical term used in healthcare to describe a sample of bodily fluid that has been thoroughly washed and disinfected before being collected for analysis or testing. It is typically performed on patients who have been exposed to certain types of infections, such as HIV/AIDS, syphilis, or sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). The swabbed sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, which helps in identifying the specific type of infection and providing targeted treatment recommendations.
