I contracted Trichomoniasis from my boyfriend of three years. I found out at my ob gyn appt. I confronted him because I have been committed and faithful. He was treated for the std at his initial appt. They prescribed the meds then since he told them what he had. Now, they just sent him a letter stating that all his tests came back clean. How the heck is that if I didnt have sex with anyone else? If I am not to blame....and he admitted to infidelity...whats up with the tests?!!!

Trichomoniasis is diagnosed less frequently in men in whom infection is characterized by fewer organisms than in women. This is possibly due to the high concentrations of zinc and other anti-trichomonal substances found in the prostate (Krieger, 1982). Poor diagnostic methods may be another contributing factor to low detection, as the optimal sampling site in men has not been established. Diagnostic methods used in men consist of culture techniques, wet mount, and various staining methods (Gram's, Giemsa, Papanicolaou's, periodic acid-Schiff, and acridine orange). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has recently emerged as a highly accurate diagnostic method, but presently is used only in research settings. Wet mount examination is approximately 50-70% accurate in women and less reliable in men. Urethral cultures will grow T. vaginalis in only 60% of cases. Staining methods are also less accurate than direct examination and require confirmation by a second method (Krieger, 1995).
It was just hard to detect in him. But he has it, if you have it.

Actually you can get it without being with another partner. . .especially during the summer when contact with damp or wet objects is at its height.
