Trichomoniasis (or “trich”) is a very common STD. It is caused by infection with a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis.
In the United States, an estimated 3.7 million people have the infection.
Infection is more common in women than in men. Older women are more likely than younger women to have been infected with trichomoniasis.

The prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis infection in the United States is estimated to be 2.3 million (3.1%) among women ages 14-49, based on a nationally representative sample of women who participated in NHANES 2001–2004. The following are other findings from this study:
African American women had a prevalence of 13.3%, Mexican American prevalence of 1.8%, and white women prevalence of 1.3%.
Prevalence of trichomoniasis increases with age and lifetime number of sexual partners among African American women.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition that happens when there is too much of certain bacteria in the vagina.
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection in women ages 15-44.
Researchers do not know the cause of BV or how some women get it. We do know that the infection typically occurs in sexually active women.
Having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners, as well as douching, can upset the balance of bacteria in the vagina. This places a woman at increased risk for getting BV.
BV rarely affects women who have never had sex.
Having BV can increase your chances of getting other STDs.

The prevalence in the United States is estimated to be 21.2 million (29.2%) among women ages 14–49, based on a nationally representative sample of women who participated in NHANES 2001–2004. The following are other findings from this study:
Prevalence of BV increases based on lifetime number of sexual partners.
Non white women have higher rates (African-American 51%, Mexican Americans 32%) than white women (23%).

While a woman’s socioeconomic and educational status characteristics and sexual and reproductive health behaviors are important contributors to risk of BV, the risk factor with the greatest magnitude of association with BV is black race.

The tendency of sexual promiscuity has been common in Africa for thousands of years while monogamy was religiously practiced in Europe. The hormone-driven feeling of falling in love is an adaptive trait that induces pair bonding and reduces the attractiveness of others.

“We have reached a decisive moment for the nation. STD rates are rising, and many of the country’s systems for preventing STDs have eroded. We must mobilize, rebuild, and expand services – or the human and economic burden will continue to grow.”
- Dr. Jonathan Mermin, Director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
