More about this test

This test checks whether you have Trichomonas Vaginalis which is an STI’s (sexually transmitted infections), commonly also known as STD’s (sexually transmitted disease).

There are many infections you acquire from another person through sexual contact, especially if you do not practice safe sex with a condom.

It is really important to have an STI test even if you don’t have any symptoms because some STI’s can cause serious long term health problems if you don’t treat them early, as STI’s are curable while others are treatable. STI testing is both quick and painless.

Many men and women with STI’s have no symptoms, but are still infectious, meaning they can still pass the STI to another sexual partner. National guidelines recommend that you should get screened annually for those women under 25, or for those men and women with multiple partners.

Bacterial DNA testing via urine samples to detect:
Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis (TV). In women, trichomoniasis can cause a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and painful urination. But up to half of all people will not develop any symptoms. Men who have trichomoniasis typically have no symptoms.

Window Period

STIs may not show up on tests straight away after sex – this delay is known as the ‘window period’. If you think you may have been at risk of infection, it’s advised you wait 2 weeks after potential exposure before providing a sample for testing for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, and a month for Trichomonas.

For HIV, Hepatitis and Syphilis, the window period can be up to 3 months, sometimes longer. If you are concerned that you may have been exposed to a STI, but your results are negative, it may be worth considering repeating your test making sure the window period or that STI has been well and truly passed.

Positive results

If any of your results are positive you will be asked to contact your local sexual health clinic as not only will your STI need treatment, but the sexual health clinic will want to undergo  Contact Tracing – in other words discuss with you about contacting any of your previous sexual contacts as they will also need investigating and possible treatment.

Negative results, but continued concerning symptoms

Should you tests with us all come back as negative, but you are continuing to suffer from STI like symptoms, you should contact your local Sexual health Clinic to get tested again.
