“…Though certain health consequences of TV such as pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes are less of a concern among older adults, TV also causes inflammation, facilitates transmission of other STIs (including HIV), and can increase risk of cervical cancer and prostate cancer. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Further, while older adults generally experience lower rates of STI than their younger counterparts, TV may represent an instance where the older population is at increased risk. Future studies should investigate this association and identify subgroups of the older population that may be at higher risk for trichomoniasis or TV complications.…”

“…However, untreated infection can result in adverse health outcomes such as inflammation in the reproductive ract leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, and may be a risk factor for cervical and prostate cancer. [2][3][4][5][6] Concerningly, TV infection may increase risk of acquiring other STIs, and has been associated with increased HIV transmission and viral shedding. 2,7 However, there is limited knowledge of the true public health impact and epidemiology of this infection in the United States.…”

“…Considering this undeniable risk of male consequences of trichomonal infections, Mielczarek and Blaszkowska [ 27 ] reported that point-of-care tests have been developed in the female, but not evaluated in the male. In addition, apart from the pregnancy complications, trichomoniasis in the man may lead to long-term problems such as infertility or even prostate cancer, for which an association has been shown [ 76 ].…”

“…As shown in Table 8 [ 86 , 114 121 ] in eight of nine case control studies there is no increase in risk of prostate cancer in association with T. vaginalis infections. In two studies positive antibodies were higher in the controls than the cancer.…”
