Introduction
Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Both men and women can be affected—although trichomoniasis in men is often less symptomatic. Key trichomoniasis symptoms include frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge (often described as trichomoniasis discharge), itching, and irritation in women, while men may experience mild discomfort. Early detection is vital for effective trichomoniasis treatments and to ensure you receive the right trichomoniasis medication, such as metronidazole or tinidazole. At Manhattan STD Testing, our expert team provides accurate, confidential testing to help you manage your sexual health with confidence

Your Questions Answered
What is trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite. It can lead to symptoms such as abnormal discharge and irritation, though many people may remain asymptomatic.
Can a woman get trichomoniasis on her own?
No. Trichomoniasis is almost exclusively transmitted through sexual contact, so it is not typical for a woman to contract it without exposure to an infected partner.
How long does it take trichomoniasis to turn into HIV?
Trichomoniasis does not turn into HIV. However, the inflammation and sores caused by trichomoniasis may increase the risk of HIV transmission if exposed.
How long can trichomoniasis be dormant in a woman?
Trichomoniasis can be asymptomatic, or “dormant,” for months, even though the infection remains active. Regular screening is important if you are at risk.
Can you get trichomoniasis without having sex?
Trichomoniasis is primarily spread through sexual contact. It is very unlikely to contract the infection without engaging in sexual activity.
Is trichomoniasis curable?
Yes, trichomoniasis is curable with proper antibiotic treatment. Following your doctor’s instructions is essential for complete recovery.
How long does it take for trichomoniasis to go away after treatment?
Typically, symptoms begin to improve within a few days after starting treatment, and the infection is usually cleared by the end of the medication course. Follow-up testing may be recommended to ensure complete recovery.
