trichomoniasis. Both men and women can be infected with trichomoniasis. Clinical findings

as well as itching, burning, or redness of the vulva and vagina. Trichomoniasis can be treated
easily with metronidazole. However, for the treatment to work, it is important to make sure

condoms during sexual intercourse while being treated.
