How do you cure and prevent re infection of Trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide.

Cure:

The treatment for trichomoniasis is a single dose of the antibiotic metronidazole. This medication is effective in curing the infection in over 95% of cases. It is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed, even if the symptoms go away. Sexual partners should also be treated to prevent re-infection.

Prevention:

The best way to prevent trichomoniasis is to use condoms during sex. Condoms can help to block the transmission of the parasite from one person to another. It is also important to avoid having sex with someone who has symptoms of trichomoniasis, such as vaginal itching or burning, pain during urination, or a foul-smelling discharge.

Re-infection:

Re-infection with trichomoniasis can occur if a person has unprotected sex with someone who is infected. It is important to use condoms every time you have sex to prevent re-infection. You should also tell your sexual partners if you have been diagnosed with trichomoniasis so that they can be tested and treated.

Treatment for Sexual Partners

Trichomoniasis can be passed back and forth between sexual partners. It is important for all sexual partners to be treated for trichomoniasis at the same time. This will help to prevent re-infection. Treatment for sexual partners usually consists of a single dose of the antibiotic metronidazole.
