BV is linked to an imbalance of “good” and “harmful” bacteria that are normally found in a woman's vagina. Having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners, as well as douching, can upset the balance of bacteria in the vagina. This places a woman at increased risk for getting BV.
Can a man pass BV from one woman to another?
Can men spread BV? There's no way for men to get BV. However, experts aren't as sure about whether men can spread BV to female partners. Women can develop BV regardless of whether they're sexually active.
How is BV transmitted sexually?
Bacterial vaginosis isn't a sexually transmitted infection. But having sex with a new partner, or multiple partners, may increase your risk for BV. And sex sometimes leads to BV if your partner's natural genital chemistry changes the balance in your vagina and causes bacteria to grow.
