Hsv-1 outbreak with bv. i was intimate with a new partner & protection was used- but i was also taking prednisone. i since learned prednisone can lead to outbreaks. both times ive ever had hsv-1 outbreaks, bv follows. can anything prevent this?

Any genital area inflammation, like herpes, can trigger bacterial vaginosis. It should respond to standard treatment, like metronidazole. As you may have found, genital herpes caused by HSV1 usually has infrequent recurrent outbreaks; the prednisone wasn't necessarily the reason, and sex doesn't trigger outbreaks either.
