Trichomonas

Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection that can occur without obvious symptoms, especially in its early stages. Because it may go unnoticed, testing can be a practical way to gain clarity. Awareness of an infection allows for a timely conversation with a healthcare provider.

This test may be relevant for:

• People who have had unprotected sexual contact
• Those experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, itching, or irritation
• Anyone whose partner has been diagnosed with Trichomoniasis
• People who want to check for this specific infection

This test screens for:

• Trichomoniasis (PCR)

PCR technology detects the genetic material of the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite, offering a sensitive detection method.

The result is reported as detected or not detected. A "not detected" result may indicate that no Trichomonas infection was found at the time of testing. A "detected" result may suggest the presence of an active infection and can be discussed with a healthcare provider.

A swab or urine sample is collected at a certified sample point. The process is quick, discreet, and handled by trained professionals.

This test may be considered:

• After unprotected sexual contact
• If a partner has been diagnosed with Trichomoniasis
• When experiencing symptoms such as discharge, itching, or irritation
• As a focused check for this specific parasitic infection

A "not detected" result means no genetic material of Trichomonas was found in the sample. A "detected" result may indicate an active infection. Results are best discussed with a healthcare provider who can advise on appropriate next steps.

Do not urinate for at least 1 hour before providing a urine sample. This helps ensure there is sufficient material for accurate testing.

Your results are made available securely through your personal account. If the result requires follow-up, a healthcare provider can help determine the next steps. All information is handled with strict confidentiality.
