Order Trichomoniasis TestTrichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. The Trichomoniasis Test detects evidence of this organism, typically through a urine sample or a swab collected from the affected area. Because many infections produce no noticeable symptoms, testing is the only reliable way to know whether the parasite is present.
About Trichomoniasis Test in Cincinnati
The test works by identifying the parasite or its genetic material in a collected sample.
Laboratories may use several methods. Microscopic examination looks for moving organisms in a sample of vaginal or urethral secretions, though this approach can miss low-level infections. Culture, in which a sample is incubated to encourage parasite growth, is more sensitive but takes longer. Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) detects the parasite's DNA or RNA and is generally the most sensitive method available.
The type of sample collected depends on the method and the person being tested. A urine specimen is often used with NAAT. A clinician may also collect a vaginal swab or, less commonly, a urethral swab. Samples are sent to a laboratory, where the chosen technique is performed and results are reported as detected or not detected, or in some cases as positive or negative.
Preparation is usually minimal. Some collection methods may have specific instructions, such as avoiding certain products before a swab, so it is best to follow the lab's guidance. Results are typically available within one to three business days, depending on the method used and the laboratory's workflow.
