Trichomonas Test FAQs

• How much does a trichomoniasis test cost?

  The cost of a trichomoniasis test is based on several factors, including the type of test being given, provider rates, your location, and whether your health insurance covers the test. At-home trichomoniasis tests typically cost between $50 and $200. If you are going to a doctor or urgent care clinic to get tested, contact the trichomoniasis test provider directly to learn more about testing costs.

• Does insurance cover trichomoniasis testing?

  Many health insurance plans cover trichomoniasis testing, especially if your doctor feels this test is medically necessary based on your symptoms. Contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your benefits and to see whether your plan covers trichomoniasis testing. Some test providers may also contact your insurance company on your behalf to confirm benefits.

• Who should get a trichomoniasis test?

  Any male or female who is experiencing symptoms of trichomoniasis should get a trichomoniasis test to determine whether they have this infection. Common symptoms in women include vaginal itching, painful urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. Symptoms in men include abnormal discharge from the penis and itching on the penis. Those who have multiple sex partners, a history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and who have sex without using condoms should also get a trichomoniasis test.

• How do they test for trichomoniasis in males?

  In males, the trichomoniasis test involves taking a fluid sample from the urethra using a cotton swab. Males must also submit a urine sample. Both the urethra and urine samples are collected during one appointment and sent to the lab, where they are analyzed and studied to confirm or rule out trichomoniasis.

• How do they test for trichomoniasis in females?

  In females, the trichomoniasis test involves taking a small sample of cells from the cervix or vaginal wall using a small swab or brush. In addition, a pelvic examination may be performed to look for small red ulcerations in the vagina and on the cervix. Some trichomoniasis test providers may also ask females to submit a urine sample. The cell and urine samples are then evaluated in a lab to confirm or rule out trichomoniasis.

• How long does a trichomoniasis test take?

  A trichomoniasis test may take up to 30 minutes, depending on the testing procedures being used. The test may take longer for females, especially if a pelvic exam is performed in addition to the swab and urine tests. The test provider can tell you more about what to expect during your appointment and how long it may take.

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

  Trichomoniasis test results usually come back within two to seven days, though this timeline tends to vary from one provider to the next. Factors that can affect when your test results are ready include lab staffing and productivity and your doctor’s availability. Contact the trichomoniasis test provider directly to find out when you can expect to learn about your results.
