Be honest
just choose a time when you are ready and be honest. Having an STD is not a sign of promiscuity nor does it mean you were not practising safer sex. There is a chance that the person may walk away however there is a chance that they may not. It is better to let the person know and allow them to make an informed decision. Allow he/she to educate their self about that particular STD and determine whether it is something they can live with or not.
You owe the truth to the individual with whom you have a relationship that you think will lead to intimacy. Do not wait until you are going toward the bedroom to tell the person, rather discuss it over coffee, letting the person know that you have a health problem that can affect you. This is not an easy conversation so you may want to prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario that being the person potentially walking away. However it is better to this before sexual relations that after the deed is done, the reaction then could be traumatic for both you and the person involved.
You may also what to have some information on the STD i.e. phamplets etc.
Good luck....

Just tell them.........It's not the end of the world
Trichomoniasis can be easily treated and cured with antibiotics.
Go to the Dr.........You & your partner can get it all cleared up in 1-7 days
If you are being treated for trichomoniasis, make sure your sex partner(s) also get treatment, in order to prevent getting infected again.
Your partner should receive treatment even if they do not have any symptoms.
Good Luck!

Just tell them that you went to the doctor and that they said you had trich and for you to inform your sexual partners so they can get checked.You have to do it.Its part of the responsibility of having unprotected sex.The thing about this infection is that it is a bacterial infection that can be spread through sexual contact.It's not as bad as some of the others but can cause problems if left untreated.Tell them no matter how afraid you are,they deserve to know.Besides,they may have given it to you not knowing they had it.Don't have sex with them until you have proof that they saw a doctor,because they can re-infect you if they don't get cured.

Be honest. Trichomoniasis, can actually be contracted from someone who sat on a stool before you. It may not even be that you and that person contracted it from one another, and if there is a fear there. Please, use condoms!

Trich infections are incredibly easy to cure, and very very common.
Tell them. Or don't. It'll go away.
Antibiotics help. Any kind; if you have an issue getting cured, just pick up some for acne or something.

I'm sorry I don't know.
But I can assure you, you need to tell the person before you start doing anything. If you don't there will be problems.....

Tell your Dr. He is the only one who can provide a cure and the excuses how you got it, if you need excuses.
