trichomonas vaginitis

i was told by a doctor that i have trichomonas vaginitis  and i have only one sexual partner my question is did i already have the infection and passed it to him or did he give it to me

I was told by my doctor that I have Trichomonas Vaginitis and I have had only my husband... I am just so upset... Could I have gotten this another way other than thru my husband.... I am really scared...

How were you diagnosed with trich?  Did they do lab testing, like a swab, or just diagnose you based on symptoms?

Its rare, but sometimes trich can be spread by using someone's wet towel if the first person who used it has trich.

Your husband does need to be treated.

Have you told him about this?   If you haven't been unfaithful, why are you afraid, or are you afraid that he was?

I have the exact same problem, and it has been re-apperaing for the past 20 years!

I have gone to my OBGYN, and had healthy check-ups in between non healthy check ups.
Both my husband and myself were treated, and I sat and watched him swallow each dose of meds last time, and low and behold...
5 years later, it's back like a bad dream
This parasite has ruined my life and my marriage.
My husband claims to be completely innocent of all wrong doing and I have been faithful, other than this Bug, I've no reason to doubt him.
Would like some input from the experts on this one.
And oh, the lab did test my results

I have the same problem. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (for the first time ever) back in September of 2008. Soon after I started getting symptoms so I went to the OBGYN and had another pap smear and was told I had trichomonas and the only way to contract that was through unprotected sex. Ok fair enough I didn't use protection so that made sense. After getting treated, I broke up with my boyfriend and never talked to him since. Around January I has sex again (different guy) and fully protected and then my symptoms come back. Now I'm confused because I was yet again diagnosed with the same exact infection that supposedly only gets contracted through unprotected sex. I think I may still have it, and each time I go back to see the OBGYN they tell me the same "It's because you had unprotected sex" story and I'm like NO I HAVEN'T. I'm confused.
