unlikely to be transmitted thru bathwater, although it can be by shring moist towels (if you wiped your genitals with the towel and then immediately used it to dry her genitals off, you might trasmit trich. Her doctor can do a quick swabbing to see, especially if she looks irritated or has a discharge
