Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Complications
- The genital inflammation caused by trichomoniasis can increase a woman's susceptibility to HIV infection if she is exposed to the virus. Having trichomoniasis may increase the chance that an HIV-infected woman passes HIV to her sex partner(s).
- Pregnant women with trichomoniasis may have babies who are born early or with low birth weight (less than five pounds).[2]
Research has shown a link between trichomoniasis and two serious sequelæ. Data suggest that:
- Trichomoniasis is associated with increased risk of transmission of HIV.
- Trichomoniasis may cause a woman to deliver a low-birth-weight or premature infant.
