how can you get trichomoniasis if no one cheats - #25893
I am really puzzled about something and hoping someone here can shed some light. Last week I found out I have trichomoniasis, and I am freaking out because my partner and I have been together for a long time and we both have been faithful to each other. Like, how can you get trichomoniasis if no one cheats? I've never had any symptoms until my recent check-up, and the doc just casually mentioned it, like it's no big deal. I mean, I thought I was doing everything right. We always practice safe sex, and I honestly didn’t even know trichomoniasis was a thing until now. Now I'm worried I might have gotten it from somewhere unexpected, but then again, we both get tested regularly and have no other partners. I keep thinking, is it something that can just show up out of nowhere? Or does it require contact with someone who has it? Also, I’ve read that it can be asymptomatic in some people, so I'm just scared that one of us might have had it and we didn't even know, right? Is there a way to get trichomoniasis if no one cheats? Can't shake off these thoughts. Thanks for any help!
