  Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. […] Although this infection is common in the United States and worldwide, it has been considered a neglected parasitic infection, due to limited knowledge of its sequelae and associated costs. […] The T vaginalis parasite is a single-celled protozoan with 4 flagella at one end. […] T vaginalis thrives in certain moist areas of the body: Urethra, male or female; Vagina; Vulva. […] These parasites do not commonly infect the hands, mouth, or rectum. […] T vaginalis parasites require a human host and do not affect any other animals. […] Although these parasites might be able to survive for a few minutes in damp environments outside the human body, there have been no proven cases of transmission via shared baths, toilets, or towels.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/230617-overview

  Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the motile parasitic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. […] The risk of acquiring T vaginalis infections is based on engagement in high-risk sexual activity. Those who engage in the following sexual practices are at a greater risk for infection: New or multiple partners, Exchanging sex for money or drugs, Sexual contact with an infected partner, Not using barrier protection. […] Several other factors may indicate a higher likelihood of T vaginalis infection but may not be directly or causally linked, as follows: A history of certain STIs, Current STIs, A history of injection drug use. […] Even if not directly causal, these factors may be predictive. In a study that considered risk factors for trichomoniasis, injection drug use in the preceding 30 days was the most strongly associated with infection and with new infection observed during the study.

  Trichomoniasis represents a common sexually transmitted infection that is caused by the flagellated parasitic protozoan agent Trichomonas vaginalis. […] This condition has been linked to pre-term deliveries and increased infant mortality, as well as facilitated transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). […] Trichomonas vaginalis was initially discovered by a physician, Alfred Francois Donn, in 1836 who observed motile microorganisms in the purulent vaginal discharge of infected women, while a clinical entity known as trichomoniasis was first described in 1916 by Hohne. […] The genome sequence of Trichomonas vaginalis was published in 2007, which prompted other studies that revealed a two-type population structure in a worldwide sample of affected women. […] An interesting factoid is a double-stranded RNA virus (commonly dubbed Trichomonas vaginalis virus) that is detected in 73 percent of type 1 Trichomonas isolates, but only in 2.5 percent of type 2 Trichomonas isolates. It is thought that the presence of this virus can modulate the pathogenicity of the parasite by altering the expression of cysteine proteinases and surface molecules.

• #5 Trichomoniasis – HealthyWomen

  https://www.healthywomen.org/condition/trichomoniasis

  Trichomoniasis is the most common curable sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States. […] The organisms that cause trichomoniasis are protozoans (the simplest, single-cell organism in the animal kingdom). These protozoans, called trichomonads, can infect other areas of the body, but Trichomonas vaginalis is responsible for genital infection and vaginitis. […] Studies also link trichomoniasis with an increased risk of HIV transmission (HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS). Studies show that women infected with this STD are at higher risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV. […] Trichomoniasis is transmitted through sexual intercourse. […] Having multiple sex partners and infection with other STDs are primary factors that increase a woman’s risk of infection. […] Trichomoniasis increases a woman’s risk of preterm birth or delivery of a low birth weight baby.

Trich isn’t spread by sharing food or drinks, kissing, or hugging. […] Rarely, there may be a possibility that you or your partner developed trich from something nonsexual. Some nonsexual trichomoniasis causes include: Public pools. If the water in the pool isn’t appropriately changed, there is a possibility that the parasite can spread. Sharing towels. If you share towels with someone, there is a slight possibility of getting this infection. Toilets. Using a public or outdoor toilet may risk getting trich, especially if the toilet seat is damp.

[…] If you have been diagnosed previously with another STD, such as a chlamydia infection, you may be at a higher risk for trichomoniasis as well. The presence or history of another sexually transmitted disease increases the tendency to be infected by this parasite due to a weak immune response. […] Some individuals may contract this disease by sharing needles for intravenous drug usage. Pregnant women infected with this parasite may transmit it to their babies during vaginal delivery. […] Females are much more prone to develop this infection than males. It has also been noticed that older females may have a higher risk of contracting this parasite. African American females are more commonly affected by this condition than others.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/230617-overview

  Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the motile parasitic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. […] The risk of acquiring T vaginalis infections is based on engagement in high-risk sexual activity. Those who engage in the following sexual practices are at a greater risk for infection: New or multiple partners, Exchanging sex for money or drugs, Sexual contact with an infected partner, Not using barrier protection. […] Several other factors may indicate a higher likelihood of T vaginalis infection but may not be directly or causally linked, as follows: A history of certain STIs, Current STIs, A history of injection drug use. […] Even if not directly causal, these factors may be predictive. In a study that considered risk factors for trichomoniasis, injection drug use in the preceding 30 days was the most strongly associated with infection and with new infection observed during the study.

  Infected Sexual Partners: Having sexual contact with an individual already infected with trichomoniasis significantly increases the likelihood of transmission. Asymptomatic carriers can unknowingly spread the infection to their partners. […] Shared Sex Toys: Sharing sex toys without proper cleaning and disinfection between uses can facilitate the transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis between sexual partners. […] Poor Hygiene Practices: Inadequate genital hygiene, such as infrequent washing or improper cleaning techniques, may contribute to the persistence of Trichomonas vaginalis and increase the risk of transmission. […] Immune System Health: Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV/AIDS or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, may be more susceptible to trichomoniasis and its complications. […] Environmental Factors: Certain environmental conditions, such as warm and moist climates, may promote the survival and transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis, enhancing the risk of infection in susceptible populations.

Sharing contaminated objects like towels, undergarments, or bathing suits with an infected individual can facilitate the transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis. However, sexual contact remains the primary mode of transmission. […] Individuals with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to trichomoniasis. Conditions such as HIV/AIDS, certain cancers, or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy can compromise the body’s ability to fight off infections, making them more vulnerable to trichomoniasis and other STIs.
