Trichomoniasis urine test male

What is a trichomoniasis test?

Trichomoniasis, often called trich, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It's caused by infection with a parasite.

The parasite that causes this STD is a tiny single-celled life form. A trichomoniasis infection mostly involves the genital area.

Trichomoniasis testing usually looks for the parasite in a sample of body fluid that's swabbed from the infected area.

In women, the infection is usually in the vagina. In men, the infection is usually in the urethra, a tube in the penis that carries urine (pee) out of the body. A urine sample may also be used.

You can get trichomoniasis by having sex without a condom with a partner who has the infection.

Women can get the disease from men or women who are infected. Men usually get it only from women who are infected.
