Can male give and also carry (TRICHAMONSIS) to females???

yes you can catch it and it can remain dormant so don't freak out too badly on the poor man....just get the antibiotics for you both and then don't have ANY sex till pills are gone....eating is cheating....We all go home wake up with a 2 but you are the lucky one cause he married you. BEST wishes,,,,,,Happy New Year

It's possible a man he was with was with a woman who had it - usually it's a female to male method of transmission.

Your chain of sex partners confuses me, so I'm sorry if I didn't answer that part of the question.

A lot of people unknowingly pass STD's. They can even carry an STD and not exhibit symptoms.

Trich can be carried with no symptoms in the male and passed on to female partners. There are other even newer silent STD's that can also be carried by men and passed on to their unsuspecting partners.

I have done my research and now know what you really meant. It only took me about 3 minutes. I still wonder about your profile as a man and being married to your "Husband" STILL LMAO.....

Trichomoniasis, sometimes referred to as "trich", is a common cause of vaginitis. It results both from shared external water sources (hot tubs, wet bathing suits, wet towels and washcloths), and as a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis is primarily an infection of the urogenital tract; the most common site of infection is the urethra and the vagina in women. It is most common in women and uncircumcised men. For uncircumcised men, the most common site for the infection is the tip of the penis.

[edit] Symptoms

Typically, only women experience symptoms associated with Trichomonas infection.

Symptoms include:

* Vaginitis - itching, burning, and inflammation of the vagina
* Cervicitis - inflammation of the cervix
* Urethritis - inflammation of the urethra
* Green/Yellow, frothy vaginal discharge

Most men with trichomoniasis do not have signs or symptoms; however, some men may temporarily have an irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or slight burning after urination or ejaculation.

Some women have signs or symptoms of infection which include a frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong odor. The infection also may cause discomfort during intercourse and urination, as well as irritation and itching of the female genital area. In rare cases, lower abdominal pain can occur. Symptoms usually appear in women within 5 to 28 days of exposure.

[edit] Diagnosis

Trichomoniasis is diagnosed by visually observing the trichomonads via a microscope. In women, the doctor collects the specimen during a pelvic examination by inserting a speculum into the vagina and then using a cotton-tipped applicator to collect the sample. The sample is then placed onto a microscopic slide and sent to a laboratory to be analyzed. An examination in the presence of trichomoniasisptaulas may also reveal small red ulcerations on the vaginal wall or cervix; if occurring on the cervix, is termed "strawberry cervix."

[edit] Genetic sequence

A draft sequence of the Trichomonas genome was published on January 12, 2007 in the journal Science confirming that the genome has at least 26,000 genes, a similar number to the human genome.[1]

[edit] Treatment

Treatment for both pregnant and non-pregnant patients usually utilizes metronidazole[2] (Flagyl) 500mg oral 2-3 times per day for 7-10 days. Sexual partners, even if asymptomatic, should be concurrently treated.[citation needed]

[edit] Complications

Research has shown a link between trichomoniasis and two serious sequelæ. Data suggest that:

* Trichomoniasis is associated with increased risk of transmission of HIV.
* Trichomoniasis may cause a woman to deliver a low-birth-weight or premature infant.

Additional research is needed to fully explore these relationships.
