smelllly vaginal odour!

I got tested a few months ago for an STI because I smelt a fishy odour coming from downstairs. Turned out I had trichomonal vaginosis, so I was given medication and when I came off the medication I got tested again and the infection had gone and I was clear of any infection - but the smell is still there! And there's a strange thick dark discharge aswell :( what is it and how can I get rid of it!?

Yikes. i dont know. i have been told that you can get it if you share towels. it can live long enough to transmit that way. but thats about what i know. i looked it up once and the information isnt that great. i had it once 12 yrs ago mine cleared up. my bf at the time was a virgin(before me) but i found out he used his neighbors towels. he lived in a quad so he didnt even know the people ewwwwww nasty. bugs are getting harder to treat.
