I just found out i have trich, i got it 3 yrs ago, & both me&my partner were treated. could it be this is not a new infection but the dormant old one?

This isn't a simple?: Have you had Trichomonas for three years without knowing? Not likely, but not impossible. Are you heterosexual? It's unlikely a male would have had this witout symptoms either. Did you both take all medication exactly as prescribed? And have you used any sex toys that were not completely sterilized? Have you had a pelvic exam since then, your doctor would have seen this. Reinfection seems probable
