Trichomonas False Positive?

[MBErnie]

I have been married for 32 years, and monogamous with my wife for 35 years.  I am 99.999% sure she has been faithful too.  Her last routine pap smear was positive for trichomonas.  I was then given a urine test, which detected no STDs. We both completed the routine AB treatment.   Although I explained my faithfulness to our GP, she explained to  my wife that it is only sexually transmitted and we should go to a marriage counselor.  Now I am the unrepentant villain in my wife's eyes, no matter what I say.  I don't use other peoples wet towels or sit in hot tubs.  Was this most likely a false positive?   If the protozoan where present but asymptomatic from 35 years ago, wouldn't it have shown up in my wife's routine pap smears?

I have been tested positive for trich and the first thing i thought was that my boyfriend must have cheated. i talked to him about the results and i was very upset that in 39 years i have never had something like this. He had no problem in getting tested so he went the next day and got treated. his test came back today and were negative. How can this be possible? We had sex a couple of days before my test. I went in because i had bleed during sex so we got worried that i might have a tubal pregnancy or something else. Its just unexplainable and we want answers. we have both been faithful. And if its a sexually transmitted disease why doesnt he have it, we have had sex for over a year now.

Does anyone know how to answer DBED14 He was tested through urine and blood sample, she was tested as a regular pap smear screening because of discharge and bleeding with intercourse. Both have been treated with Flagyl but are very confused with the boyfriends results. They have been sexually active with each other for over a year and had sex prior to her testing. If someone can please expalin if they have had this issue.

I think all of these people are telling the truth about not cheating. My 71 year old mother went to the ER tonight, because she ws having stomach and joint pain, nausea and vomiting. Turns out she had a bladder infection. But on top of that, when they did other tests, said she had trich. My mother had a boyfriend of 20 years, but he is impotent. They have not had sex in many years. My mother tried to tell them it was impossible, they wanted to talk to her in "private". She said she didn't need to, and had nothing to hide. I know my mother us telling the truth. Her and the boyfriend live with me and my children, and have for years. My mother is disabled due to severe arthritis, and walks with a cane. She has problems getting around, and doesn't even feel like having sex anymore. I am angry because they acted like my mother was lying. So I want to know how she got this? There should be more research on this. She couldn't get it from anyone in the house either, it is just me and the kids. My husband left us 8 years ago, so I have not had sex myself during that time, as I have not had a boyfriend. So there goes the "wet towel" possibility. The only other things we can think of, is a visitor got it on our toilet seat? Or someone used one of our towels without knowing it, and then my mother used the towel? Or public toilet seat? My mother doesn't go to hot tubs, or swimming pools. She does to walmart and kroger once in awhile, and has used the public rest rooms. But everyone says you can't get it from a toilet seat. So what is up with this?
