Testing aimed at restoring vaginal health
Our Aerobic Vaginitis infection panel (AVIP™) provides valuable insight to help you get the care you need for lasting relief and restored vaginal health.
When it comes to your vaginal health, you want a full picture.
Many vaginal health issues go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to overlapping symptoms. Aerobic Vaginitis, a common yet often overlooked condition, requires identification for effective treatment.1 Without the full picture, treatment can fall short.
A streamlined workflow
Our testing is designed to quickly identify the most common pathogens. Positive results are then cultured and tested against a panel of antibiotics.
Collect and send your vaginal swab to CirrusDx.
Your sample is analyzed to determine if bacteria or yeast is present and which treatment(s) will be most effective.
Your healthcare provider gets actionable results to guide treatment decisions.
Aerobic Vaginitis (AV) is an infection caused by an overgrowth of aerobic bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, leading to vaginal inflammation and discomfort. Diagnosing AV is crucial to restoring the healthy balance of vaginal bacteria, promoting overall vaginal health, ensuring the correct treatment plan and avoiding ineffective treatments.
Unlike Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), which is associated with an imbalance in anaerobic bacteria, AV is marked by inflammation of the vaginal lining and a disruption of healthy vaginal flora. CirrusDx AVIP™ identifies pathogens in the vaginal tract that may cause aerobic vaginitis, while polyMIC™ provides antibiotic susceptibility results.
Negative results are reported same day the sample is received in the lab. Positive results with susceptibilities are reported next day.
