A member asked:
Has anyone tested positive for trichimoniasis without sexual contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible: Trichomonas is a one-celled organism that can live anywhere there is enough moisture. Although most cases are sexually transmitted, it can be picked up if the patient comes in contact with a contaminated moist object or body of water, or something contaminated with body fluids.
