An online trichomoniasis test is a lab test used to check for Trichomonas vaginalis, a common sexually transmitted parasite. It is ordered when someone has symptoms such as genital itching, discharge, or burning, or when they want screening after possible exposure.

What it measures

  • Trichomonas vaginalis DNA — Detects the parasite's genetic material, which is the most sensitive way to find an infection.
  • Trichomonas vaginalis RNA — Looks for a piece of the parasite's genetic code and can signal an active infection.
  • Trichomonas vaginalis antigen — Checks for proteins from the parasite that the immune system may react to.
  • Specimen adequacy — Confirms the sample was collected properly so the result can be trusted.

Who it is for

Adults who have symptoms, a known exposure, or routine sexual health screening needs may order this test online. It is often requested by people who prefer private testing from home.

Preparation

No fasting or special timing is required. Follow the kit's collection instructions, and avoid douching or vaginal products before sampling if the kit asks you to.

Results and what they mean

Results are usually available in 1 to 3 business days and are reported as detected or not detected, sometimes with a numeric value. A clinician interprets results alongside symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice; contact a healthcare professional about your results.
