In women, trichomoniasis is one of a range of conditions that may include vaginal discharge. Symptoms in females can include itching, burning, redness, or soreness of the genitals, unusual odor, discomfort with urination, or a thin clear, white, yellow, or green discharge. (2) In men, trichomoniasis may cause non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). Symptoms in males can include itching or burning inside the penis, burning after ejaculation or urination, or penile discharge.

5. Should you screen for trichomoniasis?
For women, consider screening those receiving care in high-prevalence settings (e.g., STI clinics and correctional facilities) and for asymptomatic women at high risk for infection (e.g., women with multiple sex partners, transactional sex, drug misuse, or a history of STI or incarceration). For persons with HIV, screening is recommended for sexually active women at entry to care and at least annually thereafter. (2)
