Positive for trich - no symptoms - does it mean he's cheating

Hi. I have been having some vulvar inflammation that is actually starting to improve. I recently went back to the gynecologist and asked to be tested for "everything" before being referred to a vulvar specialist. This included an STD PCR panel, which included Trichomonas Vaginalis. The test results went into the portal over the weekend and I had a positive result for Trichomonas Vaginalis. I am in a monogamous relationship and have been for 14 years. I have never been tested for trich before and neither has my partner. I read that you can have trich for many years without knowing/having symptoms. My partner swears that he did not cheat - I know it sounds naive, but it would be EXTREMELY out of character for him to do something like that and, for what it's worth, he sucks at keeping secrets. I know I didn't cheat. As I mentioned, I do have some vulvar inflammation, but that is actually healing with removal of irritants and gentle care, so I don't have any trich symptoms. As I mentioned, I read in many places that trich can be present and asymptomatic for many years, but could it be the case for 14 years? Again I know it sounds naive, but I lean toward believing my partner and we've never had any trust issues in the past. He also had me go through his phone and offered to show me the GPS data from his work vehicle. His company tracks GPS data on all their work trucks and will write up/fire workers who take the truck to a location that isn't an appointment. He also never really goes anywhere without me, beyond short, provable errands. Is it possible that one (or both) of us could have gotten trich before the relationship, even though we've been together for 14 years? Neither of us have symptoms and neither of us have ever been tested for it. Thank you. submitted by /u/FeistyMaintenance169 [link] [comments]
