What Is Trichomoniasis?
7. Medical History
While taking precautions regarding your sexual activities can go a long way to protecting you from infections, there are other factors that can make somebody more or less likely to become infected. One of these is the patient’s previous medical history, particularly regarding sexually transmitted diseases.
If somebody does have a history of sexually transmitted disease in the past, then they are more likely to become infected if exposed to the parasite again. What’s more is that a reinfection is even more likely if a previous infection was trichomoniasis. People with such a medical history should take even more precaution than usual.
