Condoms, no sex in months -Trichomonas ?

[EsTBunny]

I've had the same partner for 9yrs. We've always used condoms. We split and I haven't had sex since, but "trace trichomonas" appeared on Pap results. tested angain for trich and tested "positive abnormal" Gyno gave me a prescription and rescheduled a follow-up 12 weeks out!!!
Where could this have come from and does 12 weeks seem pretty far out for a follow up ??

I still haven't had any symptoms, he's being tested as well. I'll check the lab report, it usually shows the type of test that was performed.. Still pondering over the 12 weeks for a follow up

Sorry, I misunderstood.  I thought your prominent symptoms occurred this time, not 10 yr ago.  The more subtle symptoms are consistent with a chronic infection that only now showed up on a lab test.  Also, I didn't think to ask about what test was done.  If trichomonas organisms were observed on a pap smear, that is a very unreliable test and likely you don't have it at all.  If your doctor did a "wet prep" or "saline preparation" and living trich were seen under the microscope, you definitely have it.
