Abstract

This study assessed feasibility of male partner referral by Trichomonas vaginalis -infected women. Of 93 women approached, only 20 enrolled. Only 1 male partner contacted the study but was unable to be reached for scheduling. Other public health interventions are necessary to engaged T. vaginalis -infected women and their male partners in care.
