Primary Outcome Measures:

TV negative after treatment with either multi or single dose MTZ [ Time Frame: 4 weeks post treatment completion ]


Estimated Enrollment:	700
Study Start Date:	June 2013
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2017
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: MTZ 2 g Single dose MTZ	Drug: MTZ 2 g MTZ 2 g Other Name: Single dose MTZ
Experimental: MTZ 500 mg BID x 7 days Multi dose MTZ	Drug: MTZ 500 mg BID x 7 days MTZ 500 mg BID x 7days Other Name: Multi-dose MTZ

Detailed Description:

This study is a phase III randomized clinical trial. HIV-negative women who test positive for TV at their routine gynecological exam at participating clinics will be referred to the nurse/study coordinator to screen for eligibility, provide a description of the study, and obtain written, informed consent (N=700). Subjects will undergo an audio computer assisted self- interview (ACASI), and will self-collect vaginal swabs for Trichomonas testing by InPouch and NAAT, Gram stain testing, and a future microbiome specimen. They will be randomized into one of two arms; metronidazole (MTZ) 2 g single dose (CDC recommended treatment regimen) or MTZ 500 mg BID 7-day dose (CDC alternative treatment regimen). All enrolled women will be scheduled for a follow-up visit at four weeks post treatment completion (window 3-13 weeks).
