The Call-On-Doc Guide to Trichomoniasis

Spread through a parasite known as Trichomonas vaginalis, trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection that can be treated and cured with prescription antibiotics. Although the Centers for Disease Control estimated over two million infections as of 2018, a significant number of individuals who contract the infection remain undiagnosed or untreated. This can be attributed to only around 30% of all those infected developing symptoms at all. (1)

Trichomoniasis, commonly referred to as "trich" (pronounced "trick"), is an STI that can affect all age groups. Effective ways to prevent trichomoniasis include safe sex practices, limiting the number of partners, getting regular testing and treatment if needed. Having partners regularly tested and treated is also important to prevent further transmission or reinfection. (2)(3)

Through CallonDoc, if you or your partner are experiencing symptoms of trichomoniasis, you can get same-day treatment prescribed for pick-up at your local pharmacy or you can get tested for common STDs with an at-home test kit shipped discreetly and privately to you.

Chlamydia vs Gonorrhea vs Trichomoniasis

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than you might think, affecting millions of people every year. They’re usually spread through sexual contact, but some can also be passed from a mother to her baby during childbirth or through blood.

STIs, like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, often share similar symptoms—things like unusual discharge, pain when you pee, or itching. This makes it difficult to tell which one you might have just based on symptoms alone. While a doctor is your best resource for accurate guidance, we’ll break down the main differences between chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis in the sections below.
