A member asked:
From having sex could i give my boyfriend pinworm ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The parasite can be transmitted during sexual contact. Transmission can also occur via direct contact with contaminated furniture, bedding, towels, toilets, and doorknobs. It is the most common helminthic infection in the United States. Cure rate is 90-95% with the appropriate treatment and thorough cleaning of the environment.
