About Trichomoniasis Test in Mesa
The trichomoniasis test identifies infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, a motile protozoan that colonizes the urogenital tract.
Laboratory methods vary. Microscopic examination of a wet mount can reveal motile trichomonads, though sensitivity is limited. Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) detects the organism's DNA or RNA and is generally more sensitive than microscopy or culture. Rapid antigen tests and culture are also used in some settings.
Specimen collection depends on the method and the person being tested. Vaginal or endocervical swabs are common in women; urethral swabs or first-void urine may be collected in men. The lab's instructions specify the acceptable sample type and any handling requirements.
Results are typically reported as positive or negative for Trichomonas vaginalis. A positive result indicates the organism was detected. A negative result means it was not detected in the sample, though false negatives can occur if the specimen was inadequate or collected too early after exposure. Turnaround is generally one to three business days.
