Trichomonas Vaginalis (TV) – Urine or Vaginal

Trichomonas Vaginalis (TV) Test – Urine or Vaginal Swab
Accurate Detection of Trichomoniasis Using Advanced Laboratory Testing

The Trichomonas Vaginalis (TV) Test is a highly accurate laboratory test designed to detect Trichomonas vaginalis, a common sexually transmitted parasite that causes trichomoniasis. Available using either a urine sample or vaginal swab, this test offers a convenient and confidential way to identify infection and support prompt treatment.

Trichomoniasis is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide, yet many infected individuals experience no symptoms. Early detection is essential to prevent ongoing transmission, reduce complications, and protect sexual health.

What is Trichomonas Vaginalis?

Trichomonas vaginalis is a microscopic parasite that is primarily transmitted through sexual contact. Infection can affect both men and women, although symptoms tend to be more noticeable in women.

Without treatment, trichomoniasis can persist for months or even years and may increase the risk of acquiring or transmitting other sexually transmitted infections.
