A member asked:
Is it possible for trich to lay dormant for 7 years? i tested negative in sept 2016 but positive 3 months ago. i have been with same partner for 7 yrs

Previous negative: Trichomoniasis can stay undetected for long periods of time but in your case you report a negative test in September of 2016 indicating that it was not present at that time. This leads one to conclude that this is most likely a newly acquired infection.
