Not orally: The normal routes of transmission for Trichomoniasis are penis to vagina, vagina to penis or vagina to vagina. It would be uncommon for the infection to affect anus or mouth.

A member asked:

I contracted Trichomoniasis from my partner and I took RX meds to clear it up a week ago. He has yet to be seen by his doc and prescribed the meds. Is it okay for him to perform oral sex on me in the meantime? Can I get it again through his saliva??
