RevoDx Trichomonas Vaginalis qPCR Kit

Trichomoniasis (or “trich”) is a very common STD caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis (a protozoan parasite). Infection is more common in women than in men. Older women are more likely than younger women to have the infection. Symptoms of trichomoniasis usually develop within a month of infection. But up to half of all people will not develop any symptoms (though they can still pass the infection on to others). The symptoms of trichomoniasis are similar to those of many other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so it can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. In women, the infection is most commonly found in the lower genital tract (vulva, vagina, cervix, or urethra). In men, the infection is most commonly found inside the urethra. Men with trich may notice; itching or irritation inside the penis; burning after peeing or ejaculating; and discharge from the penis. Women with trich may notice: iItching, burning, redness or soreness of the genitals; discomfort when peeing; and a clear, white, yellowish, or greenish vaginal discharge (i.e., thin discharge or increased volume) with a fishy smell.
