A member asked:
If bv is not considered an sti then why would using condoms help keep someone from getting it?

Can be sexually tran: Just because it is not considered an std, it is still possible to be sexually transmitted. With the pain that this can cause, i would recommend no sexual intercourse until the infection has been cleared.
