The Need

Trichomoniasis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are the three most prevalent, treatable STDs in the U.S. If left untreated, complications can include infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy complications, and increased risk of HIV acquisition.1

CDC recommends:1
  • Annual CT/NG screening of all sexually active women under 25
  • Screening of other at-risk individuals including MSM*
  • Testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, & trichomoniasis using NAATs^ (PCR)
  • Timely testing to support prompt treatment decisions

The Solution

Accurate on-demand PCR results are ready when you need them
  • On‑demand results can support clinical workflows by providing results during the patient visit
  • The test supports the use of patient‑collected vaginal swab specimens in clinical settings
  • The assay supports multiple validated specimen types

The Impact

Provide fast patient results to:
  • Enable test results during the patient visit
  • Support efficient patient care workflows
  • Support timely identification of infection to inform clinical management.
  • Help inform appropriate clinical decision‑making regarding antibiotic use

Frequently Asked Questions

Xpert TV is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of Trichomonas vaginalis genomic DNA. The test utilizes automated real-time PCR to amplify and detect Trichomonas vaginalis genomic DNA. (1)

The Xpert TV test uses female and male urine specimens, endocervical swab specimens, or patient-collected vaginal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting). The Xpert TV test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis (TV) in symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals. (1)

The protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis is responsible for trichomoniasis, which is a common sexually transmitted infection that can infect both men and women. There are 7.4 million cases of trichomoniasis annually in the United States. Trichomoniasis can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. (1)

In women, trichomoniasis is one of a range of conditions that may include vaginal discharge. Symptoms in females can include itching, burning, redness, or soreness of the genitals, unusual odor, discomfort with urination, or a thin clear, white, yellow, or green discharge. (2) In men, trichomoniasis may cause non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). Symptoms in males can include itching or burning inside the penis, burning after ejaculation or urination, or penile discharge. (1)

For women, consider screening those receiving care in high-prevalence settings (e.g., STI clinics and correctional facilities) and for asymptomatic women at high risk for infection (e.g., women with multiple sex partners, transactional sex, drug misuse, or a history of STI or incarceration).  For persons with HIV, screening is recommended for sexually active women at entry to care and at least annually thereafter. (2)
