Can Trichomonas Be Transmitted?
I am a 37 yo female. No past medical conditions. In may of last year I went for my 1st prenatal visit I also had std testing done. All the results were negative. On june 11, 2010 I had a miscarriage, and a D& E. I received the Depo shot for birthcontrol. I had bleeding from that time until January. I became sexually active with my partner in September of 2010. In January of 2011 I had a hysteroscopy with a biopsy done. The results were all negative. My partner came to me yesterday, and told me that someone he slept with had trichomonas. I am scheduled to be tested, and treated tomorrow. Is it possible with all of the testing I had done I spread this?

Answer: Hi
Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
my name is Dr Ehsan &
I have gone through your query.
fortunately trichomonas is considered as most common curable Sexually transmitted infection.
yes, it can be transmitted from an infected individual to an unaffected individual during sex. you should go for scheduled test and further management . you tests may have been negative in the past n may even be negative because it's still not sure whether your partner who slept with someone who had trichomonas has itself contracted/ got that infection.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
