What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained urethral symptoms like itching, burning during urination, or unusual discharge. It helps detect trichomoniasis (trich), a common sexually transmitted infection that often has no symptoms but can be easily treated once identified. Many men use this test to confirm their sexual health status, especially after potential exposure or when a partner has been diagnosed.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive doctor notes in simple language explaining what your test result means for your sexual health. If positive, the notes include guidance on treatment options (typically a single dose of antibiotics), partner notification recommendations, and when to retest to confirm the infection has cleared. Along with your standard lab report, you can use our trends feature to track your sexual health testing over time, which is especially helpful if you're monitoring after treatment or testing regularly.

What's included in this test?

This test measures Trichomonas Vaginalis RNA using Qualitative TMA technology. This test uses highly sensitive RNA detection technology to identify Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite that causes trichomoniasis. This advanced method can detect the infection even when you have no symptoms, which is important since most men with trich don't realize they're infected. Early detection helps prevent transmission to partners and potential complications like urethritis or prostatitis.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should not urinate for at least one hour before providing your sample. You'll collect a first-catch urine specimen, which means the first 20-30 mL of your urine stream when you start urinating. Collecting too much urine can dilute the sample and reduce the test's accuracy, so follow the collection instructions carefully.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be ready within 5 business days after the lab receives your sample. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required, the turnaround time may be extended by a few additional days. You'll receive email notification when your results are available in your secure online account.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for men who are sexually active, especially if you have multiple partners or a new partner. You should also consider testing if you're experiencing symptoms like urethral itching, discharge, or discomfort during urination. Even if you have no symptoms, testing is recommended if a sexual partner has been diagnosed with trich, as most men with this infection don't show any signs.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that may indicate trichomoniasis include itching or irritation inside the penis, burning sensation after urination or ejaculation, and unusual discharge from the penis. However, it's important to know that about 70% of men with trich have no symptoms at all, which is why testing after potential exposure is crucial even when you feel fine.

What is trichomoniasis and why does it matter?

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a tiny parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It's the most common curable STD in the United States, affecting an estimated 3.7 million people. While it can be easily treated with antibiotics, untreated trich can increase your risk of getting or spreading other STDs and may cause inflammation of the urethra or prostate.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means Trichomonas vaginalis was detected in your urine, indicating you have an active trichomoniasis infection. The good news is that trich is easily curable with a single dose of prescription antibiotics. You'll need to notify recent sexual partners so they can get tested and treated, and you should avoid sexual contact until treatment is complete and symptoms have resolved.

How can I prevent trichomoniasis?

Using latex condoms correctly and consistently during every sexual encounter significantly reduces your risk of contracting trichomoniasis. Limiting your number of sexual partners and being in a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner also lowers your risk. Regular STD screening and open communication with partners about sexual health status are important prevention strategies.
