Trichomonas vaginalis is predominantly transmitted through sexual contact, although on rare occasions it can also be transmitted through close non-sexual contact, such as bed sheets and bedding. These instances are very uncommon but do happen.

For treating Trichomonas vaginalis, metronidazole is the drug of choice, typically using a combination of topical metronidazole suppositories and oral metronidazole tablets. If sexually active, the male partner should also take oral metronidazole tablets to prevent cross-infection. Women with Trichomonas vaginalis should thoroughly clean sheets, bedding, underwear, and panties and ensure proper disinfection to avoid recurrent infections.
