And the high incidence of T vaginitis worldwide and its compatibility with being the starting point of other serious diseases, if left untreated, make trichomoniasis an urgent public health problem. (Wang CC, McClelland RS, Reilly M, 2001) Furthermore, trichomoniasis has also been linked to other infections and serious diseases if left untreated, for example with an increased risk of contracting and transmitting HIV infection which can then lead to AIDS and can also cause cancer. of the cervix or if carried out orally can lead to oral cancer. But most of the time people are just carriers of the infection, and because there are no regular guidelines for screening for the infection, trichomoniasis vaginitis often goes undiagnosed.
