High-Yield Explanation
The same sexual encounters that spread trichomoniasis can also spread a wide variety of other sexually transmitted disease, including herpes, human papilloma virus, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and AIDS. Additionally, the lesions produced by the trichomoniasis paicularly facilitate the spread of the AIDS virus, since the normal mucosal barrier is breached.
