A member asked:
I was diagnosed with trichomonia .can it be transmitted through bath water , tub or soap ? i bathe with my baby recently & share bath with my sister.

No risk, no worries: Trichomonas is only transmitted sexually, not through bath water, towels, etc. Also, soapy water instantaneously kills it. Nothing to worry about.

Not to worry.: The normal routes of transmission for Trichomoniasis are penis to vagina, vagina to penis or vagina to vagina. It would be uncommon for the infection to affect anus or mouth.
