Abstract :Objectives: Objectives: Trichomonas vaginalis is a sexually transmitted disease and can infect a wide range of human beings. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with Trichomoniasis infection among infertile women in Gaza city, Palestine.

Ethical approval was obtained from the Helsinki Committee in Gaza to conduct the study, and all participants gave consent. A total of 120 endocervical swabs were collected from females attending the center to manage delayed conception.
