I Was Wondering Can You Get Trich If You Fingered

There is a risk of transmission of trichomonas infection in the case you describe- further details below
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service,
I carefully read your query and understand your concern.
Any genital contact with infected vaginal fluids (or infected penile fluids) may transmit trichomonas infection. Trichomonas does not live long in the outside environment but if contact with infected secretions happens in a short time it is likely for the infection to be transmitted.
In the case you describe, the contact of the fingers with the potentially infected vaginal secretions (or penile secretions) and soon after touching the penis (or vagina) can transmit the infection.
Trichomonas is a highly treatable sexually transmitted disease and only one-third of infected patients have symptoms (they still may transmit the infection even if they do not have symptoms). So, I would advise you to have a check with your doctor in case you think you were at risk of contracting the infection.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
General and Family Physician
