Accepted Answer

No: The organism has to be transmitted sexually or from an infected water environment.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worry: This duplicates your other question. No risk, no worry. Same for all STDs -- little or no risk from urine.

Question 3

how can i mail tell if he's got trichomonas?

Accepted Answer

: Confusing question:  Do you mean finding out if a male has trichomonas? Or how to inform someone by mail? In men, trichomonas is diagnosed by a urine specimen tested for trichomonas DNA (using a technology called PCR). However, mostly it isn't diagnosed at all in males:  if a female has trichomonas, her male sex partner(s) should be treated to prevent her from being reinfected.

Accepted Answer

MAybe : Trichomoniasis is a vaginal infection so some bleeding from the inflammation is not surprising. Hopefully you were also tested for other infections and had a pelvic exam to make sure everything else was ok.

Basically yes.: it also is a FREE LIVING organism. So, swamp water, toilet seats, other non-std origins of infection possible but not as common as from intercourse
