Background

Trichomoniasis is the most common, curable sexually transmitted disease in the world. It is also one of the three most common vaginal infections in women. According to the World Health Organization's annual estimates, there are an estimated 7.4 million trichomoniasis cases each year in the United States, with over 180 million cases reported worldwide. Trichomoniasis is caused by a one-celled parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis affects both women and men. The most common location of infection in women is the vagina, and in men it is the urethra.
