Yes, you can be reinfected. Both of you should be treated at the same time and avoid sex for a few days. Otherwise you will keep passing it back and forth. Did you have another STD diagnosed at the same time? I am not familiar with a shot being given for trichomoniasis. In any case, both of you should get tested for all STDs, given treatment at the same time, and hopefully once the treatment is done, you'll both be clear of infection. Hope this helps.
