Details about Trichomonas Vaginalis
What is the Trichomonas Vaginalis test?
The Trichomonas Vaginalis test detects infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, a protozoan parasite transmitted through sexual contact. It is one of the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infections worldwide.
Testing is usually performed using a vaginal, cervical, penile, or urine sample, depending on symptoms and clinical indication. Modern testing methods offer high sensitivity and accuracy, even when symptoms are mild or absent.
Early detection helps reduce transmission and supports timely clinical management.
Why do I need a Trichomonas Vaginalis test?
Many people with trichomoniasis have no symptoms, but the infection can still cause complications and be passed to partners.
You may need this test if you experience:
- Vaginal or penile discharge
- Genital itching or irritation
- Discomfort during urination
- Pain during intercourse
- Unusual genital odour
- Symptoms of an STI with unclear cause
- A sexual partner diagnosed with an STI
- Routine sexual health screening
Testing helps identify infection early and reduce the risk of ongoing transmission.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
