Trichomoniasis, often referred to as trich, is a common but less widely recognized sexually transmitted infection (STI).
While many individuals do not experience symptoms, those who do may find the infection uncomfortable.
Read on to learn more about trichomoniasis test options and treatments.
At-home testing with secure, clinician-reviewed results.
Trichomonas vaginalis is a microscopic parasite that infects the urogenital tract and causes trichomoniasis, a common and treatable sexually transmitted infection (STI). In women, it most commonly affects the vagina and cervix, while in men it typically involves the urethra. Many individuals experience no symptoms, allowing the infection to be carried and transmitted without awareness. Because asymptomatic infection is common, testing remains the most reliable way to detect trichomoniasis and help prevent further transmission.

Trichomoniasis is the most common nonviral STI in the world.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, about 3.7 million people in the United States have trichomoniasis. This infection is so common because only about 30% of people have symptoms.
It's important to note that trich does not spread through nonsexual forms of contact like kissing or hand-holding, but can spread through unprotected:
Many people will have no trichomoniasis symptoms. According to the Cleveland Clinic, up to 70% of people never have symptoms. However, in those who do have them, trichomoniasis causes symptoms within 5 to 28 days of exposure.
Women are more likely to experience trich symptoms than men. Some of the most common signs include:
Men don't often have symptoms of trich. However, the patients who do may experience:
Trichomoniasis can cause more than just uncomfortable symptoms. Untreated trich also has health risks. The biggest is an increased risk of contracting HIV. Women who have both trich and HIV are more likely to pass both infections to their sexual partners. This shows the importance of trichomoniasis tests and treatments.
If left untreated, trichomoniasis can persist and increase the risk of transmitting or acquiring other STIs. In women, ongoing infection may cause inflammation and discomfort over time. Prompt treatment helps clear the infection and reduces the risk of complications and reinfection.
The best way to get a trichomoniasis diagnosis is by taking a trich test. It is wise to take a trichomoniasis test in the following situations:
