While HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea receive most of the attention, there are other STDs that commonly go undiagnosed in Nepal — including Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma genitalium. Both are treatable but often missed due to lack of awareness and limited testing availability. Medex Neo Clinic in Naxal, Kathmandu offers PCR testing for both.
Two Commonly Missed STDs
Both infections are treatable, but standard STD panels often overlook them.
1. Trichomonas Vaginalis (TV)
A parasitic STD and one of the most common curable STDs globally. In women, it causes frothy yellow-green discharge, itching, and burning. In men, it’s usually asymptomatic but can cause urethral irritation. TV increases the risk of HIV acquisition and transmission.
2. Mycoplasma Genitalium (MG)
An emerging STD associated with urethritis in men and cervicitis and PID in women. It is naturally resistant to some antibiotics and requires specific PCR testing — standard STD panels often miss it.
