According to the CDC, trichomoniasis is transmitted through sex and, "It is not common for the parasite to infect other body parts, like the hands, mouth, or anus. "
Although symptoms are not always present, female symptoms include:
A foul-smelling, greenish-yellow discharge from the vagina (often in large amounts)
Irritation, itching, and/or soreness in the vulva, perineum, and (less often) the thighs
In severe cases, inflammation of the vulva and perineum
Red spots on the vaginal walls and surface of the cervix
Pregnant women who are infected with trichomoniasis may have premature or low-birth weight babies
You said that your doctor said that you Might have trichomoniasis. Although a conversation with your boyfriend may be in order, make sure to get a proper diagnosis and even a second test if it's up in the air.
