Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of trichomoniasis include abstinence from sexual contact. Latex male condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of trichomoniasis. Any genital symptom such as discharge, burning during urination, or an unusual sore or rash should be a signal to stop having sex and to consult a health care provider immediately.
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of trichomoniasis include:
- Abstinence from sexual contact
- Latex male condoms, when used consistently and correctly
- Any genital symptom such as discharge, burning during urination, or an unusual sore or rash to consult a health care provider immediately.
A person diagnosed with trichomoniasis (or any other STD) should receive treatment and should notify all recent sex partners so that they can see a health care provider and be treated. This reduces the risk that the sex partners will develop complications from trichomoniasis and reduces the risk that the person with trichomoniasis will become re-infected. Sex should be stopped until the person with trichomoniasis and all of his or her recent partners complete treatment for trichomoniasis and have no symptoms.[1]
