What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained vaginal discomfort, unusual discharge, itching, or irritation. It helps detect Trichomonas vaginalis infection, one of the most common curable sexually transmitted infections that often has no symptoms. Many women use this test to confirm their sexual health status, especially after new partners or if they have concerns about possible exposure.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should not urinate for at least one hour before collecting your sample. Provide the first part of your urine stream (approximately 20-30 mL) in a clean collection cup without any preservatives. Do not cleanse the labial area before providing the specimen, as this may affect results. Collecting too much urine may dilute the sample and reduce accuracy.

What's included in this test?

This test uses advanced RNA detection technology to identify Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite that causes trichomoniasis (trich). It provides highly accurate qualitative results showing whether the infection is present or not, which is essential for proper treatment and preventing transmission to partners. Early detection helps you get treatment quickly before complications develop.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining whether Trichomonas was detected and what it means for your health. These notes include personalized recommendations like treatment options, partner notification guidance, and prevention strategies. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your sexual health over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful for monitoring after treatment.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results within 5 business days after your sample reaches the lab. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required, the turnaround time may be slightly extended to ensure the most accurate results possible. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready to view.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for sexually active women experiencing vaginal symptoms like discharge, odor, itching, or discomfort. You should also consider testing if you've had unprotected sex, have a new sexual partner, or your partner has been diagnosed with an STD. Even without symptoms, regular testing is wise since 70% of people with trich have no symptoms at all.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include unusual vaginal discharge (often yellow-green or frothy), vaginal itching or irritation, discomfort during urination or intercourse, and a strong vaginal odor. However, many women have no symptoms at all, which is why testing is important if you have any concerns about exposure. If left untreated, trich can increase your risk of other infections.

What is trichomoniasis and why does it matter?

Trichomoniasis (trich) is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a tiny parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It's the most common curable STD, affecting an estimated 3.7 million people in the United States. While it's easily treated with antibiotics, untreated trich can increase your risk of getting or transmitting HIV and may cause pregnancy complications.

What happens if my test is positive?

A positive result means Trichomonas vaginalis was detected in your sample. The good news is that trich is highly curable with prescription antibiotics, typically a single dose or short course of medication. You should notify your sexual partner(s) so they can also get tested and treated to prevent reinfection. Avoid sexual activity until you and your partner(s) have completed treatment.

How often should I get retested for trichomoniasis?

If you test positive and receive treatment, you should retest about 3 months after completing treatment to ensure the infection is gone. If you're sexually active with multiple partners or have new partners, consider testing every 6-12 months as part of routine sexual health screening. Regular testing is especially important since most people with trich have no symptoms.
