# Trichomonas vaginalis, NAA

> This test detects the genetic material of Trichomonas vaginalis, a microscopic parasite that causes a common sexually transmitted infection. It helps determine if this parasite is the cause of symptoms like genital itching, burning, or unusual discharge. This screening helps distinguish trichomoniasis from other conditions with similar signs, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis. However, this test does not screen for other sexually transmitted diseases or determine how long an infection has been present.
