A member asked:

Could a female get bacterial vaginitis from a noncircumcised male?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Women seldom get yeast or non specific bacterial vaginal infections from their partners. The exceptions are gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichamonis and then the circumcised status is immaterial.
