Looking at both your posts, I think you are referring to Chlamydia as Trichomoniasis - these are separate STIs. C. Trachomatic is commonly known as Chlamydia. Trichomoniasis if often simplified to Trich. They're not the same.
So it looks like tests have shown she is negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. This is good news. I think the doctor jumped the gun and made a diagnosis without testing which isn't right. Or perhaps he was making suggestions?
Ask what else he may think she has - there is a condition called Bacterial Vaginosis (often called B.V.) that can cause a lot of discomfort. It can be caused by an STI or can happen on it's own. It needs to be treated.
She may have to have more tests to see if anything else is going on - or this could have been some sort of random pain that came and went.
