My 10 year old who is not sexually active but a sickle cell patient was diagnosed with tric is this possible?

Diagnostic Method?: STI in a child raises social issues so diagnostic method must be infallible. Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted infection. In a child of age ten evaluation prior to treatment should be done in consultation with child sexual abuse team. NAAT and culture are the best methods of diagnosis. Clinical impression; over 20% false positive; not an option for use in for Pediatric medicine

Difficult: Anything is possible in medicine. However trich is usually considered transmitted through genitals. In a child, it is a concerning sign of possible sexual contact. See a doctor for further evaluation. http://www.consultantlive.com/sexually-transmitted-diseases/trichomoniasis-young-girl-nonsexual-transmission-possible%E2%80%94-not-likely
