In this study, 50% of females diagnosed with trichomoniasis completed retesting within 365 days. Improved scheduling of clients at the time of trichomoniasis treatment and improved identification in our electronic health record of individuals diagnosed with trichomoniasis within the prior year would likely improve retesting rates. Given the high prevalence of trichomoniasis, expanded screening of asymptomatic females in settings where this is feasible may be warranted.
