Is Trichomonas Infection A Sexually Transmitted Disease?
I received a call from my dr today saying I had an STD called trichomonas. I know I have been faithful and I believe my husband has also been so how can this be? Although all information states this is sexually transmitted, no information says where this parasite can be found before it is sexually transmitted. He is going to the dr tomorrow but I am very confused about the information out there that just leads one to suspect that their spouse is cheating. Do you have any additional light you can shed on this?
