Last year my boyfriend and I were in an exclusive relationship and then broke up. I thought I had a yeast infection after we were broken up and I was no longer sexually active because when we were together I developed a bladder infection and used antibiotics to treat it. But come to find out it was BV–Bacterial Vaginosis. I’ve read all of the info. on it and it doesn’t seem to be sexually transmitted. The ironic part of all of this is that my ex-boyfriend and I got back together recently and I developed it again. Is this a coincidence or what? Is it because he is a new partner and it somehow offsets my normal bacterial count? I’ve only developed it after having sex with him but know it could be related to other factors. Hmmmm?

What can a man take for bv to keep from giving it back to the woman after she has been treated. If the woman take medicine for bacterial vaginosis and the man don’t can the woman get it back?
