Can i get trichomoniasis by oral sex?

Yes: Unprotected oral sex could result in this or a number of other std's. Once one has an oral infection, it can be transmitted by kissing. Oral trichomoniasis may be associated with poor oral hygiene.

Not usually: Risk of infection from oral sex: Giving oral sex to a woman with an infected vagina or a man with an infected penis might result in getting trichomoniasis of the throat. There are few reports of potential spread from oral sex. Spread of trichomoniasis by other oral sex practices has not been reported.
