A member asked:

Can you get trich (std) by fingering or touching or is it only thru vaginal intercoarse ?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Intercourse only: My summary/title says it all: There is little or no risk of trichomonas without an uncovered penis (i.e. no condom) in the vagina.
