I had bacterial vaginosis. i took my full prescription of antibiotics, didnt have intercourse for 2 weeks. recently had sex and the smell is back??

Recurrent BV: Bacterial vaginosis often recurs after treatment. Contact the doctor treating you about possible additional treatment. You also should plan on avoiding sex for a while, or using condoms for the next several weeks. Although experts debate whether BV is an STD, it certainly is sometimes triggered by sex.
