Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is caused by a single-celled parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. While it is possible to get trichomoniasis without cheating, it is still important to practice safe sex.
The most common way to get trichomoniasis is through unprotected sexual contact with an infected person. This can include vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Unprotected sex can occur when a person does not use a condom or other barrier method to prevent the spread of STIs. It’s also possible to get trichomoniasis from contact with an infected person’s genitals, even if there is no penetration or ejaculation.
It is also possible to get trichomoniasis through contact with contaminated objects. This could include sharing sex toys, towels, or other objects that have been in contact with an infected person’s genitals.
Finally, it is possible to get trichomoniasis from skin-to-skin contact with an infected person’s genitals, even if there is no penetration or ejaculation.
It’s important to practice safe sex, including using condoms and other barrier methods, in order to reduce the risk of getting trichomoniasis. Additionally, it is important to get tested for STIs regularly, especially if you have had unprotected sex or are having sex with multiple partners.
