Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis are easily diagnosed and treated

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are usually spread from person to person during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Three of the most common STDs are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Although these three STDs are quite common, a lot of infected people do not show any symptoms, and are unaware that they have an STD and can pass the disease to others. Without treatment, these STDs can lead to serious health complications. However, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis are easy to test for and can be effectively treated. Get tested today in the privacy of your own home.

Why consider this test?

You should consider getting tested if:

You are sexually active
You have had unprotected sex
You are entering a new relationship
You are experiencing symptoms of an STD
You have had a partner with an STD

If you suspect that you have been exposed to chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis, be aware that there is a “window period” of around two weeks where laboratory assays are unable to detect the bacteria that cause chlamydia and gonorrhea, and a “window period” of around 3-6 weeks where laboratory assays are unable to detect the protozoa that causes trichomoniasis.

What’s included in the Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomoniasis Test?

• Chlamydia
Chlamydia is an STD caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most commonly reported bacterial infection worldwide. Approximately 60% of new chlamydia infections occur in individuals aged between 15 and 24 years, with reported chlamydia rates in females being approximately two times the rate among males.

Although many infected individuals do not show any symptoms, untreated chlamydia infections can lead to serious health complications. In females, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and PID-associated infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain can occur. Untreated chlamydia during pregnancy has been associated with preterm delivery. Complications in untreated males can include epididymitis, sterility, and prostatis. Other potential complications include gonococcal bacteremia, pharyngitis, and reactive arthritis. Chlamydia infections also facilitate the transmission of HIV infection.

Chlamydia is diagnosed by nucleic acid amplification testing of vaginal swabs or urine specimens. It is easily cured with antibiotics; however, repeat chlamydial infections from sexual contact with an infected partner are common, which increase the risk of serious reproductive health complications.

• Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is an STD caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In women, gonorrhea can affect the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. In men, the infection affects the urethra. This bacterium can also infect the mucous membrane of mouth, eyes, and rectum.

Many infected individuals do not show any symptoms of gonorrhea; however untreated gonorrheal infections can lead to serious health complications. In females, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and PID-associated infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain can occur. Untreated gonorrhea during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage and inflammation of the lining of the uterus. Complications in untreated males can include epididymitis, sterility, and prostatis. Other potential complications include gonococcal bacteremia, pharyngitis, and reactive arthritis. Gonorrhea infections also facilitate the transmission of HIV infection.

Gonorrhea is diagnosed by nucleic acid amplification testing of vaginal swabs or urine specimens. It is cured with dual antibiotic therapy; however, repeat gonorrheal infections from sexual contact with an infected partner are common, which increase the risk of serious reproductive health complications.

• Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is caused by a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. Infections occur in the lower genital tract, vulva, vagina, cervix, and urethra of women. The inside of the penis (urethra) is the most commonly infected body part of men.

Most individuals infected with trichomoniasis remain asymptomatic, with only approximately 30% of infected individuals showing symptoms. Trichomoniasis infections are associated with an increased risk of contracting other STDs, including a two to three-fold increased risk of HIV. Pregnant women with trichomoniasis have an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes, preterm delivery and giving birth to an infant with a low birth weight. Trichomoniasis is also associated with an increased risk of the transmission of HIV from an HIV-positive mother to her child.

Trichomoniasis is diagnosed by nucleic acid amplification testing of vaginal swabs or urine specimens. It is easily cured with antibiotics; however reinfections can occur after treatment through subsequent sexual contact with an infected partner.

Details and FAQs

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions. Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

Who should get tested?

Testing should be conducted in females with abnormal vaginal discharge. Routine testing should occur in HIV-positive females. Testing should be considered in high-prevalence settings (e.g. STD clinics and correctional facilities) and in those with a high risk of infection (e.g. multiple sex partners).

Why should I get tested?

Trichomoniasis is a common STD, particularly in black females, but many infected individuals remain asymptomatic. Testing is simple and non-invasive. Treatment is simple and effective and will prevent any complications associated with this STD.

What are ways to reduce the risk of trichomoniasis?

Practicing safe sex with a latex condom significantly reduces the risk of STDs, although it is not 100% effective. Prompt treatment is important. Abstaining from sexual contact until the completion of treatment will prevent the spread of trichomoniasis to your partner.

If I get a positive result, what should I do next?

Contact a health professional to begin a course of prescribed antibiotics as soon as possible. Abstain from sexual contact until the completion of the antibiotic course. Ensure that any recent sexual partners are aware of your diagnosis so they can also request testing.

Can I get trichomoniasis again?

Yes. Although antibiotic treatment is effective for the current bacterial infection, it does not prevent future infections through exposure to an infected individual.

How do I collect a test sample?

Collect 20-30 ml of the initial urine stream into the sterile urine collection container. Urine must be collected at least 1 hour after previous urination. Transfer 2 ml of urine into the sample transport tube and seal in the transport bag.

How is trichomoniasis treated?

Trichomoniasis is effectively treated with a course of antibiotics. It is important to complete the antibiotic course as prescribed and to abstain from sexual contact until the treatment is complete.

How does the trichomoniasis test work?

Our lab uses a molecular testing technique known as a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) to detect the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid in the urine sample. NAATs are the most sensitive method for trichomoniasis diagnosis.
