Hi there,
Trichomonas is a a sexually transmitted disease, not possible to get it from perfumes, baby powder etc. So it's important that your boyfriend gets tested for the same immediately. And also do concentrate on getting properly treated for the same and avoid sexual contact till treatment is complete.
A recheck to see if you have cured completely is also required.
Your boyfriend needs to be checked and treated as well.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
