A member asked:
Just found out i have trichomonas. should i test my children? can it be spread through saliva? does it cause sores in the mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transmit by sex: Trichomoniasis is transmitted by sexual contact. You do not need to test your children and it is not transmitted via saliva. It does not cause sores in the mouth. Any sexual partners you have need to be treated. Get tested for other STDs as well.
