About Trichomoniasis Test in Altadena
The Trichomoniasis Screen detects genetic material or organisms from Trichomonas vaginalis in a collected sample.
Laboratories typically use nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), which identifies the parasite's DNA or RNA with high sensitivity and specificity. Depending on the collection method, the sample may be urine, a vaginal swab, or a urethral swab.
Results are reported as detected or not detected. A detected result indicates the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid or organisms in the sample. A not-detected result means the target was absent at the time of collection, though timing relative to exposure can affect accuracy.
Because trichomoniasis can persist without symptoms, a laboratory result is often the only objective evidence of infection. Interpretation should account for the collection site, the assay used, and any recent treatment, and it is best reviewed alongside a clinician's assessment.
