Trying to get some closure

[Beatrice1219]

My partner has told me the other day that she has a std "Trichomonasis", she has told me that she has been faithful, I went and got tested and my results were neg, so now I've asked her again and she has told me that u can get the Sti from a toilet seat, is this true

[Beatrice1219]

Ok thank you

[Vance2335]

Any Dr should be able to take a sample and sent to a lab.

[Beatrice1219]

I went to a doctor at a walk in clinic and he told me I need to see a urologist, what kind of doctor do I need to see

[Vance2335]

What?

[Beatrice1219]

Ok how about America

[Vance2335]

Not in America

[Beatrice1219]

These type of test do they have to be done by a urologist

[Vance2335]

Urine or swab, but it is difficult to find in men with current testing.

[Beatrice1219]

Now I'm a guy so how would I go about being tested

[Vance2335]

Yes they would have to be wet. Dont know on the time frame.

[Beatrice1219]

I'm assuming the towels would have to be wet, how long does the parasite live outside the body?

[Vance2335]

No you can't get it from a toilet seat. Trich is tough to test for in men, but there have been reports that it can come from dirty towels that have the bacteria and hot tubs, but those cases are rare.
