If somebody has a suppressed immune system can they have recurring trich infections without being exposed to someone who is or is not symptomatic?

The person might not be finishing all the antibiotics. A lot of people will actually stop taking antibiotics when they feel the symptoms go away, but doing this only makes the bacteria weaker instead of killing it. This gives the bacteria a chance to get more stronger and reproduce again which can cause the infection to come back.
Trichomoniasis is spread through sexual contact. Transmission can occur even if a person does not have symptoms of infection. Women contract trichomoniasis from infected male or female partners while men usually contract it only from female partners. Using condoms and/or dental dams provide some protection. Their use is strongly encouraged, but is not 100% safe. Trichomoniasis can also survive on infected objects like sheets, towels, and underwear and could be transmitted by sharing them.

Yes, it is very possible. Taking too many antibiotics can cause the problem.
