A member asked:

Is it possible that my girlfriend got trich from using a towel to bath with that her sexually active son used?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mary David answered

Never say never: We are taught to never say never and never say always so it is possible but it is also highly unlikely that your girlfriend got trich from a towel.
