Trichomoniasis, also known as trich (pronounced trick) is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by an infection from a single-celled microscopic parasite known as trichomoniasis vaginalis. Studies conducted worldwide have shown that trich is the most curable of all SBTs.
Research also indicated that in the US alone, an estimated 3.7 million people, both men and women, have trich at any one time, with older women more likely to be infected than younger women. Trich is very easily passed on through unprotected vaginal sex, from someone who has the infection to someone who doesn’t.
