Trichomonas Test FAQs

• How much does a trichomoniasis test cost in Washington?

  The cost of a trichomoniasis test is determined by a number of factors, including the type of test performed, provider rates, your location, and whether the test is covered by your health insurance. The cost of trichomoniasis tests at home ranges from $50 to $200. If you're having trichomoniasis tested in a doctor's office or an urgent care center, inquire about testing fees directly with the trichomoniasis test provider.

• Does insurance cover trichomoniasis testing in Washington?

  Trichomoniasis testing is covered by many health insurance policies, especially if your doctor believes it is medically essential based on your symptoms. To clarify your benefits and determine if your plan covers trichomoniasis testing, contact your insurance provider directly. Some test providers may also call your insurance carrier to confirm benefits on your behalf.

• Who should get a trichomoniasis test in Washington?

  Anyone with trichomoniasis symptoms, whether male or female, should receive a trichomoniasis test to see if they have the infection. Vaginal itching, painful urination, and pain during sexual intercourse are all common symptoms in women. In men, abnormal discharge from the penis and itching on the penis are symptoms. Those who have several sex partners, a history of STDs, or who have intercourse without using condoms should also undergo a trichomoniasis test.

• How do they test for trichomoniasis in males?

  The trichomoniasis test is performed on males by collecting a fluid sample from the urethra with a cotton swab. A urine sample is also required of males. During a single appointment, both the urethra and urine samples are obtained and delivered to the lab, where they are processed and studied to confirm or rule out trichomoniasis.

• How do they test for trichomoniasis in females?

  The trichomoniasis test in females involves swabbing or brushing a tiny sample of cells from the cervix or vaginal wall. A pelvic examination may also be performed to check for little red ulcerations in the vaginal and cervix. Females may be asked to submit a urine sample by some trichomoniasis test providers. The cell and urine samples are then tested in a lab to see if trichomoniasis is present or not.

• How long does a trichomoniasis test take?

  Depending on the testing protocols employed, a trichomoniasis test can take up to 30 minutes. Females may take longer to complete the test, especially if they have a pelvic exam in addition to the swab and urine tests. More information about what to expect during your appointment and how long it can take can be obtained from the test provider.

• How long does it take to get trichomoniasis test results?

  Trichomoniasis test results are normally available in two to seven days, though this varies from provider to provider. Lab staffing and productivity, as well as your doctor's availability, might influence when your test results are ready. To find out when you can expect to hear about your trichomoniasis test results, contact the trichomoniasis test provider directly.
