Reepat question: You asked this a day or two ago. There is no single test for BV. Neither gram stain nor wet mount is perfect; either could be wrong. In addition to these, you could be tested with BV Blue or other test for Gardnerella vaginalis. Keep working with your doctor, or ask for referral to a gyn who subspecializes in infectious diseases.
