Trichomonas: You might have had trichomonas all along. Trich and BV cause similar symptoms and are easily mixed up, even with lab testing. Trich is sexually transmitted, but often carried for years before it shows up in either partner. New trich in a monogamous couple usually is not due to sexual infidelity. You and husband both need Rx with metronidazole, ideally multi-dose, not single dose. Good luck!

A member asked:
Had a Pap smear 3 weeks ago. HPV was negative, Pap smear was normal and gonorrhea and chlamydia came back negative. Trich still says pending 3 weeks later. Does a lab usually take that long? I was negative 6 months ago and have not switched partners.
