Order Trichomoniasis TestTrichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. A Trichomoniasis Screen detects evidence of this organism in a collected sample, helping to confirm or rule out infection when symptoms are present or when a person has possible exposure.
About Trichomoniasis Test in Altadena
The test works by identifying the parasite directly or by detecting its genetic material, depending on the method the laboratory uses.
Laboratories may examine a sample under a microscope for moving trichomonads, detect parasite antigens, or amplify parasite DNA using a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). NAATs are generally the most sensitive of these approaches and can be performed on urine, vaginal swabs, or other urogenital specimens.
Results are reported as positive or negative. A positive result means the parasite was detected and generally indicates current infection. A negative result means the parasite was not found, though timing and specimen quality can affect detection, so a negative result does not always exclude infection if exposure was very recent.
Because trichomoniasis can be present without obvious symptoms and can coexist with other sexually transmitted infections, a positive or negative result is usually interpreted alongside a person's history, symptoms, and any other tests ordered. Treatment decisions rest with a qualified clinician, and repeat testing may be advised in some situations.
