Trichomoniasis

I have tested positive for trichomoniasis 3 months ago and i can't get in touch with the last guy i slept with but we used a condom and it never broke or slipped. Should I be worried?

Should you be worried about what, exactly?

How long before the guy 3 months ago was your previous encounter?

How was this diagnosed? Did you have symptoms, or did they find it when doing your pap test? There can be false positives when doing the test with your pap, so it's possible that you had a false positive if you had no symptoms. Can you find out from your doctor what the name of the test was? Maybe you can access the patient portal?

If you are concerned about notifying your partner, and you've tried contacting him a few times, then I think you've done what you can.

I had symptoms but they were so mild i didn't no and it was done by requested std test. Im just wondering if i gave it to him bc we had sex twice both with condoms but you never know. If we used a condom perfectly is he fine?
Ohh yes, I'm sorry I misunderstood. I was going off the assumption you were thinking he gave it to you.

If you had it prior it to him - assuming you had trich and not just a yeast infection and a false positive or something - then using a condom would protect him from it. He's fine. :)
Ok well i just tested positive for ureaplasma, i have a friend that only gives me oral sex and is it possible i could give it to him orally or could he have given it to me from oral?
And if i sat on someone's face but they're mouth was covered are they ok? (This is a separate incident)
Ureaplasma is kind of complicated because it is often found in our genital tracts and doesn't cause problems. It can be transmitted sexually, including orally, but you'll never know if he gave it to you or you had it anyway.

If they are treating you, he should talk to his doctor about getting treated. There's not a lot of info about partner treatment for oral contact, but if it were me, I might opt to be safe and treat.

If someone's mouth was covered, they're fine. STDs don't go through fabric.

Have you been tested for other STDs, like gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, etc.? If not, you might want to.
Ok, can ureaplasma be transmitted through oral sex or anal? Should i tell my past partners due to the fact i unknowingly may have had this for years, My doctor didn't give me any info on this or tell me any instructions other than take my antibiotics

Like AJ said, ureaplasma isnt often classed as an STI because it can live in our genital tracts with no issue (male and female). It only causes issues when it grows out of control and they usually only treat in the presence of symptoms. You can have it for years and years and years. It is prob not worth telling partners about it.
