Aim of study: To emphasize the significance of rapid detection of T. virginis in honeymoon ladies, the present study used vaginal sweep specimens and Real-Time PCR to identify the prevalence of T. virginis among these women. Methodology: A total of 140 vaginal swab honeymoon women aged 14-37 years were enrolled y were collected from women attending gynecological clinics during their honeymoon period. Detection of T. vaginalis DNA was performed using real-time (q PCR) technique. Results: The results a revealed T. vaginalis prevalence of 6.4%. No significant differences were observed in the mean age or residence (urban vs. rural) between T. Vaginalis positive and negative women. Conclusion: qPCR effectively identified Trichomonas vaginalis infections in honeymooned women with vaginitis. Marital duration and age (14-37 years) significantly influenced pathogen prevalence, underscoring the role of behavioral and hormonal factors in the etiology of vaginitis.
