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.
