Trichomonas Vaginalis Urine Test, NAA , Random

What is the purpose of this test?

The Trichomonas Vaginalis Urine Test, NAA, Random is a highly sensitive test used to detect Trichomonas vaginalis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite. This test uses nucleic acid amplification (NAA) technology, which identifies the genetic material of the parasite, making it more accurate than traditional microscopic methods. Early detection is essential since trichomoniasis often causes mild or no symptoms, yet it can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), pregnancy complications, and an increased risk of other STIs, including HIV.

This trichomoniasis testis recommended for individuals with unexplained genital discomfort, abnormal discharge, or a history of STIs. If left untreated, trichomoniasis can persist for months or even years, spreading to sexual partners and causing long-term health problems. A simple urine sample is all that is needed for this test, making it a convenient, non-invasive way to detect and diagnose an active Trichomonas vaginalis infection.
