Background: Trichomonas vaginalis infection is a common sexually transmitted protozoal infection in HIV women among all reproductive age group and is associated with several adverse health outcomes such as, preterm delivery, delivery of a low–birth weight infant, and facilitation of sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus. Patients and Methods: Total of 100 women from 20-40 years who participated in the study from 28 th December 2015 to July2016.Collection of vaginal swab specimens were done after taking consent from each patient. The vaginal fluids extracted from these swabs were evaluated for the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis & perinuclear halo (presumptive diagnosis of Trichomonas) by staining with Papanicolaou method. Results: Over all, 10 women (10%) of the total of 100 women were positive for Trichomonas infection & 12 women (12%) were positive with demonstration of perinuclear halo (12%) Total 22% had shown the infection with Trichomonas. Conclusions: With Positive history of HIV & supported by positive HIV test & clinical examination, women with abnormal vaginal discharges, burning sensation and genital itches should be checked for Trichomoniasis using high sensitive and specific tests: papanicolaou stain for the detection of trichomonas & perinuclear halo.
