Accurate Testing for Vaginitis
A problem for millions of women
A third of all women will have symptoms of vaginitis at some point in their lives, most commonly during their reproductive years. Bacterial vaginosis (BV), candida vaginitis (commonly known as a yeast infection or CV), and trichomoniasis (Trichomonas vaginalis or TV) account for 95% of the vaginitis cases that result in approximately 10M OB/GYN visits each year.1,2,3

A new standard for vaginitis testing

NAAT detects 3x more co-infection cases than clinical diagnosis with wet mount and
