Hi
Trichomoniasis is a protozoal infection caused mainly through sexual contact.
I suggest both of you to complete your course of antibiotics and prevent sexual contact until that period.It is safe to discard your previously used products such as vaseline which you have mentioned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
