Question: is trichomoniasis the same as chlamydia?
Answer: Trichomoniasis is a very common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Although not as commonly discussed as other more “famous” STIs (like HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia), trichomoniasis is actually estimated to be the most common non-viral STI in the United States (1).
