Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted disease which is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse, although transmission through other routes such as dirty towels and wash cloths has been documented. Pregnant women can also pass this infection to their babies during vaginal births.
Trichomoniasis is caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. The vagina is the most common site of infection in women, and the urethra (urine canal) is the most common site of infection in men.
The parasite is sexually transmitted through penis-to-vagina intercourse or vulva-to-vulva (the genital area outside the vagina) contact with an infected partner. Women can acquire the disease from infected men or women, but men usually contract it only from infected women.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!!!!

Transmission of trichmoniasis
The parasite rarely causes symptoms in men and re-infection of women by untreated partners can often occur.
It can be spread during:
anal sex
mutual masturbation when bodily fluids from one partner come in contact with the other’s genitals (in rare cases)
oral sex
vaginal sex
Unlike most STDs, Trichomonas can survive for some hours outside the body on infected objects and can be transmitted by sharing:
bodily fluids
contaminated bedding
damp towels
sheets
toilet seats
