Order Trichomoniasis TestTrichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. A trichomoniasis test detects evidence of this organism in a collected sample, helping to identify an active infection.
About Trichomoniasis Test in Garner
The test works by looking for the parasite itself, its genetic material, or the body's response to it, depending on the method used.
Laboratory methods for trichomoniasis testing include nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), which detect the organism's DNA or RNA and are generally the most sensitive approach; rapid antigen tests; and microscopic examination of a wet mount, in which a sample is viewed directly under a microscope to look for motile organisms.
Samples are typically collected from urine or from a swab of the affected area, such as the vagina or urethra. Because the parasite can be present without causing symptoms, testing may be appropriate even when no signs are noticeable, and it is often performed alongside tests for other sexually transmitted infections.
Results are reported as positive, meaning the organism or its genetic material was detected, or negative, meaning it was not. A positive result generally indicates an active infection that can be treated with prescription medication, and follow-up testing may be advised in certain situations. Turnaround time is typically one to three business days.
