Questions for your doctor about trichomoniasis

Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physician regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to trichomoniasis:

  1. How did I get trichomoniasis?

  2. How do you know my symptoms are not due to another STD or medical condition?

  3. How soon will I get the results of my test for this condition?

  4. What type of medication will you prescribe for my condition?

  5. How long will I need the medication?

  6. For how long will I be contagious?

  7. How will I know my trichomoniasis is cured?

  8. When can I resume sexual activity?

  9. Am I likely to be reinfected with trichomoniasis in the future?

  10. Do my current and past sexual partners need to be tested and treated for this disease?
