Trichomoniasis: There is not a reliable, accurate commercially available test for trichomoniasis testing in men. Urethral swabs and urine testing can be done. A positive test is reliable but a negative test is not. Male partners of a female who has tested positive should be treated empirically. Your boyfriend can do a virtual visit on Healthtap with a doctor in your state for a prescription
