A member asked:

I have bv can i still have sexual intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: But you should be treated with either vandazole or Metrogel or oral medication to treat the infection. If you have recurrent infections, your partner should be tested and treated as well at the same time. Use protection.
