No : Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted protozoan that causes urethritis is men and vaginitis in women it can not turn into the HIV virus. Trichomonas infection has been associated with HIV acquisition in several african studies, possibly as a result of the local inflammation caused by this parasite. If you are infected with this std you are at risk for other stds.
