Microsporidia
Microsporidia are a group of microscopic, spore-forming parasites that primarily infect the intestinal tract but can also affect the eyes, muscles, and other organs, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems. These organisms are classified as fungi or fungus-like and are known to cause a condition called microsporidiosis. Transmission typically occurs through ingestion of contaminated food or water, or contact with infected animals or surfaces. Symptoms can include chronic diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort.
Description
Microsporidia are tiny, single-celled parasitic organisms that can infect humans and animals, primarily affecting the intestinal system.
The infection is typically spread by consuming contaminated food or water, or through direct contact with infected people or animals.
Symptoms may include prolonged diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. In severe cases, it can affect organs beyond the intestines.
People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or receiving chemotherapy, are at greater risk of developing more serious or chronic infections.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
