Trichomoniasis is a big word. It’s sometimes called ‘Trich’ (& sounds like ‘Trike’). It’s more common in regional & remote areas of Australia. Sometimes your doctor may recommend this test.
Trichomoniasis is an infection you can get in the vagina and the urethra (where wee comes out). It’s uncommon in most of Australia.
Trichomoniasis can be passed during penis-in-vagina sex with someone who has the infection.
It may be possible to pass when fingers or sex toys have one person’s infected genital fluids (vaginal fluid, pre-cum or semen) on them and are inserted into another person’s vagina.
The infection is unlikely to be passed on during oral or anal sex.
Trichomoniasis is not common in most of Australia. Testing for it isn’t part of a standard STI check-up so talk to your doctor if it’s needed. The test is a swab from the vagina or urine sample from the penis.
Trichomoniasis is curable with antibiotics.
It’s important to let anyone you’ve had sex with know so they can get treated too.
