I have a bacteria infection and have not had a new sex partner in 8 years and also i don't douche, what could be the cause?

Bacterial vaginosis?: Assuming you mean a vaginal infection, probably you have bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of mostly normal bacteria. The cause of BV isn't known, but it is more common in women with other STDs, so be sure you are checked for gonorrhea and chlamydia -- especially if there is any chance your partner has sex with anyone else. Good luck!
