A member asked:
I have trichomoniasis , i am being treated but will washing my clothes be enough to not get reinfected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Trichomonas is transmitted from one warm place to another sexually and the protozoan organism doesn't survive well on clothing unless moist. Re-infection is more likely when you have intercourse again with an untreated partner.
