Trichomonas vaginalis, Detection details
What Trichomonas vaginalis, Detection shows
Trichomonas vaginalis is a single-celled parasite that causes trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection. Many people have no symptoms, while others notice discharge, itching or pain when urinating. This test looks for the organism's genetic material in a urine sample, using a sensitive nucleic acid amplification method. A positive result indicates the parasite was detected and is usually followed up with your clinician, including advice about partners. A negative result makes current infection unlikely but depends on sample timing and collection. Results are interpreted alongside your symptoms and any other sexual health tests done at the same time.

The test typically uses nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) for high sensitivity and accuracy. It is non-invasive and widely used for screening, especially in individuals who are sexually active or at increased risk of STIs.
- Chlamydia trachomatis, Detection Detects genetic material of Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted bacterium, in a urine or urogenital sample to test for infection.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection Looks for genetic material from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, in a urine or urogenital sample.
- Trichomonas vaginalis, Detection Checks a urine sample for genetic material of Trichomonas vaginalis, a parasite that causes a common sexually transmitted infection.
