Sexually: Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease from a parasite called Trichomonas Vaginalis. Most often women become infected by penis to vaginal contact or vaginal to vaginal contact. It reportedly can infect the mouth & anus but can NOT survive in those areas.

Here are some ...: Sexual contact is the main way to contract trichomonas infection so it is a STI although transmission by trich-contaminated moist personal clothes may very occasionally occur. Besides, trich infection may remain asymptomatic for a long time and remember the partner needs to be treated at the same time until the first part of morning urine test shows no trich any more. More? Ask and talk with Doc
