Stop compromising. Start treating.
Traditional methods for diagnosing Trichomonas require tradeoffs between cost and accuracy. Wet
mount may be rapid and inexpensive, but it lacks in sensitivity (51% to 65%).

Similarly, rapid antigen
tests are fast and easy, but are not as sensitive as their molecular counterparts.

The CDC recommends
testing for Trichomonas using highly sensitive Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests, like Solana, to avoid
underdiagnosing and undertreating the disease.
