A member asked:
Could bv be transmitted to sexual partner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: You have bacteria and yeast that normally 'live' in the vagina. Bv infections happen when the bacteria outgrow the yeast. No different than yeast infection in the vice versa. These are rarely transmitted to partners.
