    Question

    What is trich and what is the cure?

    Answer

    You can read about trich here: http://www.pamf.org/teen/sex/std/std/trichomonas.html and it can be cured with a presecription - one pill. However, it is extremely important that all sexual partners be treated, even if there are no symptoms, because if you get treated but have sex with someone who does not, you will get reinfected.
