Is it possible to have trichomoniasis for years and not know it?

What is trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is the number one cause of vaginal infections spread through sex. Each year, about 5 million American females get this sexually transmitted disease (STD). Most males with "trich" do not have symptoms so they do not get treated. That's why it's common for men to re-infect their partner(s). This STD can cause problems during pregnancy.

What causes trichomoniasis?
"Trich" is caused by a tiny parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It lives in moist, dark parts of the body. You can get this STD by having unprotected sex with someone who is infected. Unprotected sex is when you have sex without a condom. This includes oral, vaginal and anal sex.
