Does a positive test for trichomoniasis mean you also have gonorrhea or chlamydia?
No, a positive test for trichomoniasis does not mean you also have gonorrhea or chlamydia. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis, while gonorrhea and chlamydia are caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, respectively. These are all separate infections and can be transmitted independently of each other. Testing for each infection is necessary to determine if someone is infected with one, multiple, or none of these sexually transmitted infections.
