Dormancy Period: Several years in asymptomatic patients.

Trichomonas is a genus of anaerobic excavate parasites, and is estimated to be the most prevalent non-viral STI worldwide. Infection rates in men and women are similar but women are usually symptomatic, while infections in men are usually asymptomatic. Transmission usually occurs via direct, skin-to-skin contact with an infected individual, most often through vaginal intercourse. 160 million cases of infection are acquired annually worldwide.

Some of the complications of T. vaginalis in women include: Preterm delivery, low birth weight, and increased mortality as well as predisposing to HIV infection, AIDS, and cervical cancer. T. vaginalis has also been reported in the urinary tract, fallopian tubes, and pelvis and can cause pneumonia, bronchitis, and oral lesions. Condoms are effective at reducing, but not wholly preventing, transmission. Medication should be prescribed to any sexual partner(s) as well because they may be asymptomatic carriers.

Trichomonas vaginalis infection in males has been found to cause asymptomatic urethritis and prostatitis. It may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
