A member asked:

Is there any correlation between hiv and recurring bv? is recurring bv a symptom of hiv.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: There is not a direct connection between HIV and recurring bacterial vaginitis. However, it is often found that STD's can sometimes be diagnosed in multiples, meaning that there are 2 or more present at the same time.. BV is not an STD, unless the BV has been misdiagnosed
