Can you contract trichomoniasis by having oral sex with an infected partner? Yes. Whenever body fluids make contact with another person' body fluid, there is potential to contract any disease one another is carrying. No. 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. Yes.
