trichomonas how did i got it?

ok.my wife was diagnosed with trich yesterday. she says she has not been with nobody but me and also the doctor told her that it was nothing to worry about that it just starting to develop. i had a test called chlam/n. gono probe w/reflex i need to know if this test would have detected trich. or was it just for chlamydia or gonorrhea?.
About me: i have not had sex with anybody since june 2006 i have been having sex with my wife since the 15 of may 2008. i had a test done for sexually transmitted diseases in september of 2008 i was tested for hiv herpes and the test mentioned about but is not clear to me if i was tested to trichomonas yes or no. and if i did have it i think i probably got it in 2004  when i had unprotected sex with a coworker this happen approximatelu around november or december of 2004 and if not then i got from a prostitute in 2005 to 2006 so who had it. my wife or I?

My husband and I have been together for 12 years. We married in 2003, had our first son in 2004. In 2010 I started feeling things and assumed he had strayed. I went in for "a full battery" after complaining of pain.  They ran everything but trich. Which by the way I had never heard of. We became pregnant again in 2011. Again paps showed a shift in flora, but no concern on screening tests. (Apparently which dont include trich unless you are having symptoms). Here we are last year and I came at my husband ready to punch him in the junk because I know I havent done anything to put us here, and hes wondering why im the only one having symptoms. But we have beat this conversation to death and we both swear we have honored this marriage.  Given the practice of both of our exes I acknowledge that it is possible for things to fly under the radar. The problem is now that intercourse is painful and I have to be concerned about cancer. Its a very poorly handled issue. Im sure this situation has ruined more than one marriage.

Most of the time trich is not tested for. And from what the Dr's say on this site is someone could have it for years and never know it. In rare cases it can be picked up through a towel at a gym or places like that.

Based on what you said you have not tested for it, my wife has never tested for it. It's not a very common test to have. So I so no reason to think that she might have cheated based on the above.
