A member asked:
How long can trichomonasis stay dormant in a man?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: There has never been any high quality research on this question. The best judgment of experts is that most infections in men are cleared by the immune system in a few weeks or months, but some cases may persist for years. Sorry I can't be more precise.
