[quote=Anonymous]Let's be really clear about this -- there is a theoretic risk of passing this by something like a shared wet towel, but that his vanishingly rare, if at all.

It has never even been proven that transmission that way can happen.

[b]Trichomoniasis is virtually always sexually transmitted [8]. Although survival on fomites has been reported [9], transmission by fomites has not been directly proven [10].[/b] Females can acquire the disease from both females and males, while males typically acquire the infection from females and do not usually transmit the infection to other males [11-13]. The incubation period is unknown; however, in vitro studies suggest an incubation period of 4 to 28 days in approximately 50 percent of patients [14]. Coexistence of T. vaginalis and bacterial vaginosis (BV) is common; coinfection rates ranging from 20 to 60 to 80 percent have been reported [15,16].[/quote]
