A member asked:

Sorry to say: But being circumcised does not reduce the infection. Thus, being uncircumcised does not mean more infection of trich, gonorrhea, or chlamydia. It is a std. If you were both were treated the first time and then recultured to determine that both of you were not infected, then there should be no reinfection.

Trichomonas is a STD: You caught it from him unless u have other partners. He got if from someone else. Possible that either u or he were inadequately treated first time. Presence of foreskin is not cause of std, thus not a good excuse!
