What is the Scientific Data on the Instrument and Reagent?
The Technology Method Used – It is called as the Polymerase Chain Reaction or as (PCR)
The Limit of Detection is 500 copies/ ml.
Sensitivity:
The kit has both positive and negative reference controls the coincidence rates for both positive and negative reference controls at all times came to be 100%.
Specificity:
Between the microorganisms in the kit, no cross activity was observed
Precision:
We also tested the reference controls 10 times and at all times, the particular Ct value’s, coefficient of variation was it no time greater than 5%.
Result/Outcome/Range
- Positive/Negative/Inconclusive
Accuracy
It is the combination of sensitivity and specificity variables which define accuracy of any given diagnostic tests. The test’s ability to confirm positive result is referred to as sensitivity while specificity is the ability to eliminate negative results. All of the tests we offer are validated to a high degree of accuracy (up to 98.5%).
Variables
The accuracy that this test result provides is highly dependent on several factors that cannot be controlled by our lab. Infection intensity, patient health, and quality of the sample which is dependent on the adherence to “home testing” procedures can all be factors that limit the results of the test. At all times though we make sure that our tests are extremely sensitive but, limitations such as a swab that is of poor quality will make it harder for the test to detect the presence of infection, because in this case only a few viral particles will be present. Given the same, we request that you carefully consider the information sheet provided to you with the your sample collection kit to ensure a very high-quality sample
Detection
Our test is specifically designed to accurately detect any presence of pathogen in the sample. It does so by using the PCR method.
Please also note that all diagnosis should be properly discussed with your doctor and our results from the laboratory should only be viewed by a healthcare professional for treatment. This should be done with your doctor while assessing your medical history, lifestyle, and several other factors which may influence the results, you must make sure that you share all the above with your GP while discussing these results.
Positive result
The presence of parasite in the sample is confirmed by a positive test result, at the time of testing. Upon the receipt of positive results, we strongly advise that you contact your healthcare provider for further treatment. We also provide a prescription through our website. It is also possible the parasite does not present any symptoms of the disease, but that does not mean that you can’t be infectious to other persons.
Negative result
While a negative result is always reassuring, we advise that it is also critical to understand its significance, meaning that the test did not detect the presence of infection only for the time of testing. However, your result should always be thoroughly discussed with the healthcare provider, while properly assessing and considering your lifestyle sexual history.

Rose is ongoing a fear battle
“Ola everyone. My name’s Rosie, and I want to share my trichomoniasis journey. I’ve been seeing gynecologists since past year and have been to many. I have a constant heartburn. In Jan last year, I took the 1st swab (the generic one), which depicted Candida Albicans. I first visited my GP and then gynac; completed the prescribed treatment but i was helpless.
But it didn’t solve anything.
I knew candida was hard to defeat, then for a month, also went on an anti-candida diet; took natural remedies, like seeds of a grapefruit, propolis and aloe vera, under the able advice of my herbalist. However, nothing worked for me and my heartburn only continued from here. Later, I decided to take the swab again.
This made me think, “My problem is trichomoniasis.” and that’s when I contacted my first gynae who was the first person who had also in my past appointments told me that the only disease I had was Candida and no other infection or disease. However though, because this was not the case, I did not benefit from that.
I shifted towards a gynae.
I was told by my gynecologist that even if my swab showed positive result I was not to worry as I did not really have it. I was also told that I had a small sore along with Canada, and that was the cause of my heartburn.
Even after all the hesitation and no relief after the burn and the treatment, I would still constantly feel the burning sensation, and I also talk to my gynecologist about VULVODYNIA about which I read somewhere online on the internet to which he said that if I have a child, every disease will go away on its own and I would not have to worry at this point, I was so perplexed and frustrated that I decided to change my doctor and went on to see another doctor in Chelsea.
I read about this another doctor through V Association. My new doctor was very kind and patient and really listen to everything I had to say upon listening. He said that I had symptoms of mild vulvodynia and upon this diagnosis my new doctor gave me one month’s medication that was pollen, vaginal, vetetran, sporanox and these were for candid, and he also asked me to do some contraction, relaxation, and stretching exercises at home. I followed the medication and also did the exercises religiously. However, sadly, I did not have good results, and I had to stop taking further medication under my doctor advice.
This new, same doctor of mine further went on to advise me that if this month-long treatment did not solve my problem and I would have to do “tens”, given that I am from Nottingham, this for me would mean travelling a lot every week which was very difficult for me.
Very sad and frustrated with not being able to get treated before taking this one final step, I bought a kit and thought about doing a vagina swab before taking this step just to make sure that I have not got any infections. This happened in 2009 November, I could not believe when I saw that the result from this swap test came out positive again. After which I went to my fourth gynaecologist to get further treatment which could effectively destroy the infection, I went to see this doctor 2 times.
Whatever treatment was prescribed by my doctor. I did it all. However, I’m still at the very same point. I still had that burning sensation and it was then when I spoke to my doctor about the “tens”. Listening doctor of mine, then explain to me that these very devices have now been replaced by what is referred to as the vagina cones and recommended that I use them once I am able to successfully remove the infection.
This was not the only message on the forum that day, and this was just one of the many and it was right here that I learned about Rosie’s forum. Sadly, however, for me, I repeated the vagina swab, which came back negative this time, and I also had a colonoscopy which revealed how affected I was, and it was from there that I had to take a three-month treatment with Kofi gel and immuno toxin dose. My current situation is that I still have heartburn, and the last time that I tried to have sex I had immense pain and burning feeling days after. I had immense pain and burning falling the days after I had sex. I could also sense burning while I tried to pee. I am now really tired and scared, and I really hope to have a diagnosis and find a way to recover.
