Treatment
Because men can transmit the disease to their sex partners even when they don’t have symptoms, health experts recommend that both partners be treated to get rid of the parasite. Health care providers usually prescribe a medication called metronidazole in a single dose to treat people infected with trichomoniasis.
It is important to avoid having sex until both you and your sex partner complete treatment. You can get trichomoniasis again after being treated successfully, however.
For updated information about the treatment for trichomoniasis and other sexually transmitted infections, read the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines.
