What Is an At-Home Trichomoniasis Test?

An at-home trichomoniasis test detects Trichomonas vaginalis — the parasite that causes trich — using a urine sample or swab you collect at home and mail to a CLIA-certified lab. Results are posted to your secure online account in approximately 5 days.

Trichomoniasis is the most common curable STI in the United States. It’s often asymptomatic — many people don’t know they have it. When symptoms do occur, they can include itching, burning, and unusual discharge. Testing is the only reliable way to know your status.

Trichomoniasis is included in all myLAB Box panels — the Safe Box, Uber Box, and Total Box — making it one of the most accessible infections to screen for at home.

When Should You Test After Exposure?

Trichomoniasis has a window period of 5–28 days after exposure. Testing too soon may produce a false negative. If you test negative within 28 days of a potential exposure, retest to confirm.

A physician from the provider’s network will contact you by phone to discuss results and prescribe treatment. Trichomoniasis clears quickly with antibiotics. You should avoid sexual contact until both you and any partners have completed treatment and confirmed the infection has cleared.
