Does this mean he cheated on me?
| Fri, 12-10-2004 - 12:35pm |
I just got back from a pap appointment where i was informed that i have Tricomoniasis, or "trich". I've had three normal, clean paps before this over the course of a year and my most recent one was 6 months ago. I've been with my husband for over a year. If i never had this before and have had no sexual contact whatsoever of any kind with anybody else, then i probably from him right? And it doesn't even cause symtoms in men so maybe he had it and didn't even know, but if he had this the whole time, wouldn't i have contracted it from him earlier and not this late!? Could he have cheated on me and contracted Trich and then passed it on to me? Somebody please help me, i'm so upset and confused. Thanks.

Hi onefoolishgirl, welcome!
For more on Trichomoniasis see: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001331.htm which says in part: “This disease-causing protozoan cannot survive in the mouth or rectum, and therefore must be transmitted through penis-to-vagina intercourse or vulva-to-vulva contact with an infected partner.”
I’m so sorry hon! I think you should have a long talk with you husband and he should definitely be treated for the disease. The good news is that Trichomoniasis is easily treatable. While you were at your doctors were you tested for other STDs? If not it would be a good idea to have that done. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
