Hi,

The chances of trichomonial infection after one episode of sexual intercourse with an already known and infection person is very less. You do not need a prescription to prevent the occurence of trich infection.

If you think you have already infected then you require it. The best advice for a person like you at this stage is do not participate intercourse without a condom. Do not take medication unless you have penile discharge and fever.

I am trying to save your unnecessary medication cost here.

Second the doctors would stay away from prescriptions on this forum.

Hope this helps. You are welcome to ask any follow up queries.

Hi,

My question is were you tested for the infection? Her being infected does not confirm your infection. The chances of trichomonial infection transmitting from female to male is very low and not necessarily require treatment or prophylaxis.

If you have penile discharge you may have infection and an empirical therapy can be started.

Thanks
