It is not technically considered an STD because many women can get this without ever having intercourse. However, it can and usually does flare up in women after sexual activity. As far as it being transferred to other woman is still up in the air. Some say germs of BV have been found to cause “Balanitis” which is just a general term that is the inflammation of the tip of the penis. Many doctors would say this is untrue. Sorry about not giving a direct answer yes or no but there doesn’t appear to be one as of yet.

I am a male that would like to know if this is a sexualy transmitted thing? & can men have this & pass it on to other women without knowing?

I was diagnose with BV maybe 2-3 years ago. My doctor gave me antibiotics and symptoms subsided also but never went away. I also had that same problem when I was pregnant and it was not pleasant. I am so self-conscious when I am around faniliy and friends. I take showers everyday and several wash ups in between the day. BV is a very serious infection and it could make you very depress. I always ask myself, why does this have to happen to me all the time and will it end?

I was just diagnosis with BV a few months ago. I took oral antibiotics and antibiotics creams. The symptoms subside, but never go away. I am so miserable every day. To top it all off I am 7 weeks pregnant and have discontinued the use of antibiotics as it is my first trimester. I am trying the home remedies now. So you can imagine been pregnant and going through BV. When does it end and will it end? No one can give me an answer!
