Although women who have unprotected sex especially with multiple sexual partners are more prone to getting a BV infection, it's also true that a complete virgin can contract BV. I totally agree with the author here regarding antibiotics. Antibiotics are only meant for short-term symptomatic relief of bacterial vaginosis. In the long run they can make things worse. I will add however that there ARE certain situations where antibiotics can be helpful, such as when a woman's BV has resulted in her getting pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is far more serious than BV alone and requires medical attention.
