Examination of Vaginal Wet Preps (Video)

Developed by the Seattle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center, this video for healthcare professionals provides basic instruction on preparing and examining vaginal wet preps. Filmed on location at laboratories and clinics at the University of Washington, the video presents remarkable through-the-microscope footage of trichomonads, yeast, and clue cells associated with BV, allowing the viewer to quickly learn essential differentiation skills.

Examination of Vaginal Wet Preps is designed for use both as an introductory teaching tool and as a library resource for refreshing skills. The straight-forward approach, clear visuals, and comprehensive coverage of determining the presence of infection make it an essential resource for all STD labs.

Target audience: Healthcare personnel who perform and interpret tests for vaginal infections.
Length: 15 min 23 sec. Available in RealMedia format.
