Trichomonas

Dear Doctor:

I have just recently found out that i have acquired Trichomonas Vaginalis--I am a 36 year old married mother of three and my husband denies cheating on me.  Could I have acquired it in an indirect way and if so what are the odds?

I'm going to say that while I do think that non-sexual transmission is possible, I do think it's a lot less likely than sexual transmission.  I wouldn't be able to guess the odds but I'd just say that non-sexual transmission is a lot less likely.

In the end it just boils down to how much trust you have in your partner's fidelity.
