Trichomoniasis and HIV concern !

[worriedmartin]

Hi guys,

Had a broken condom exposure. Tested 3 month post exposure for HV, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and Hep. B.
all were negative.

Later had protected exposures with multiple partners (condoms used correctly and consistently), however, I lately found out that I had Trichomoniasis, I know for a fact that it was from the broken condom exposure before as I didn't test for it that time.

My question is:
1) Did the untreated Trichomoniasis infection increase my HIV risk, although I had protected sex ?


2) Do I need to test again for HIV after the protected exposures ?

Thanks,

You never had an exposure so it doesn't increase anything.

Yes ! Trichomoniasis can increase the risk of getting or spreading other sexually transmitted infections including HIV. However it does not apply on protected sex because the said increased probability begins after the transmission and intact and unbroken condoms make this transmission impossible.

Trichomoniasis is very much curable and you should not worry about, just seek the right and appropriate medical treatment.

No, you do not need to repeat your HIV test unless you recall , your protection failed during your last protected contact
