About this test
Test yourself easily for Trichomonas.
Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted disease. Trichomonas genitalium is an infection of the urinary tract and genitals. In women, it can lead to infections such as cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and in men it can lead to urethritis (inflammation of the urethra).
Although Trichomonas genitalium is not as well known as other STDs such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, it can have serious consequences if left untreated, such as infertility. It is usually transmitted through sexual contact, but can also be spread through other forms of intimate contact.
Our home test offers a powerful solution. This test is designed to offer you maximum privacy and comfort through a simple home collection method. With specific kits for vaginal, uterine, anal and oral samples, you can quickly and easily collect a sample yourself. All of this is done completely discreetly, without having to visit a clinic or STD clinic or share personal details.
Our test kits are not only easy to use, but also provide reliable and accurate results, giving you clarity about your sexual health within a few days. Analysis and authorization is carried out by a qualified medical microbiologist. The ability to act quickly on the test results can be essential for both treatment and peace of mind. Specially designed for those who value their privacy, health and time, our home test is an ideal choice to gain certainty about your health status, whenever and wherever it suits you.

Below is an overview of the specificity and sensitivity of our STD tests:
Chlamydia trachomatis:
Sensitivity 100% (99.4 – 100.0)
Specificity 99.8% (99.0 – 100.0)
Neisseria gonorrhoeae:
Sensitivity 100% (99.4 – 100.0)
Specificity 99.8% (99.1 – 100.0)
