Can having bv increase your chance of getting genital herpes from having a cold sore and transmitting down below?

No, ...: BV is common but it alone has not been known to increase odd to have STD. Self inoculation of herpes as concerned has been not proved without sexual act and breaking natural barrier - skin and mucosa. So, don't worry unless you have suspicious symptoms and lesions. More? Ask doctor...
