About Trichomoniasis Test in Fresno
Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a single-celled parasite. Many infections produce no symptoms, so laboratory testing is often the only way to identify the organism.
Testing typically begins with a sample collected from the site of possible infection. Depending on the method, the sample may be examined microscopically for motile organisms, tested for parasite DNA or RNA, or cultured to encourage growth of the organism.
Molecular methods, which detect the parasite's genetic material, generally offer the highest sensitivity and can be performed on a range of specimen types. Microscopy is rapid but less sensitive, while culture is highly specific yet slower.
Results are reported as detected or not detected, or as positive or negative, depending on the laboratory. A detected result indicates the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis; a not-detected result makes infection unlikely but does not entirely exclude it if exposure occurred very recently.
