Poor hygiene, diabetes, concurrent infection by other pathogens, and certain drugs can lead to irritation of the genital membranes. This creates a more favorable environment for not only Trichomonas but other disease-causing organisms as well.

The infection often has no symptoms. Women are more likely than men to get symptoms. You can pass trichomoniasis to others without knowing it. Many people with trich don't have any symptoms, but they can still spread the infection to others.

It is important that sexual partners of infected person be treated. And even if the test shows a false negative, it's still possible to spread the infection. That's why it's important to seek treatment if your partner tests positive for trich, even if you test negative, or vice versa.
