Why get tested for Trichomoniasis?

Most people have no idea they're infected

About 70% of people with trichomoniasis have no symptoms at all, according to the CDC. That means the infection spreads easily between partners without anyone realizing it. Testing is the only reliable way to know your status.

It's extremely common — and easily treated

Trichomoniasis affects an estimated 2.6 million people in the United States. The good news: it's curable with a single course of antibiotics. Getting tested is the first step to clearing the infection for good.

Untreated trich raises your HIV risk

Trichomoniasis causes genital inflammation that makes it significantly easier to both acquire and transmit HIV. If you're sexually active, leaving trich undetected and untreated puts you at greater risk for other serious infections.

Standard checkups often skip this test

Trichomoniasis is not always included in routine STD screening. Many people assume a standard annual checkup covers it — it often doesn't. Ordering this test directly ensures you're actually being tested for it.

Common questions

Trichomoniasis is detected through a urine sample using a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), which is the most accurate method available. You provide the sample at a local lab — no pelvic exam or physical inspection is required. The entire lab visit typically takes about five minutes.
Yes — roughly 70% of people infected with trichomoniasis experience no symptoms, according to the CDC. When symptoms do occur, they can include itching, burning, redness, or an unusual discharge. Because silent infections are so common, testing is the only dependable way to confirm your status.
Yes. Trichomoniasis is one of the most common curable STDs. It's typically treated with a single-dose antibiotic — either metronidazole or tinidazole. Both you and your partner should be treated at the same time to avoid reinfection.
The incubation period for trichomoniasis is typically 5 to 28 days after exposure, though some infections may not produce a detectable level earlier. If you've had a recent potential exposure, testing around the two-week mark is generally a reliable window. When in doubt, retest if your first result is negative and you still have concerns.
Not always. Many standard STD panels focus on chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis, and do not automatically include trichomoniasis testing. If you want to be tested for trich specifically, you need to request it — or choose a comprehensive panel that explicitly lists it. This test covers trichomoniasis on its own.
