Trichomoniasis

Complications

Research has shown a link between trichomoniasis and two serious complications. 

  • Scientific studies suggest that trichomoniasis is associated with at least a 3- to 5-fold increased risk of HIV transmission. 
  • Trichomoniasis may cause a woman to deliver a premature or low-birth-weight baby.
