Brief Answer:
Vaginal test is the best to do so!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this worry about trichomonas. The best test to look for this is a vaginal sample. No blood test does this as of now because trichomoniasis is not a systemic infection. Are there any specific worries about this?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
