Without a wet prep it would be impossible to tell you what sort of infection you have, unfortunately.   Bacterial vaginitis is simply an irritation of the vaginal canal, and doesn't mean any specific kind of bacteria was identified.   It could well be trichinosis, as that is what it usually sounds like complaint wise, except for the itching which usually also accompanies it.  It could be caused by any number of bacteria, though, and only the exam can give you a final answer.   Of course, you know the lecture you are going to get about using a condom.  But it is the best way to protect yourself from this sort of experience in future.  Repeated vaginal infections eventually can cause cervicitis, the inflammation that is often a precursor to cancer or other nasty changes in smears.  Take care of yourself, insist your partners wear condoms until you are absolutely sure.  These days you just can't be too careful.  In the meantime, make yourself as comfortable as you can.  Stick to the all cotton undies, avoid pantyhose, and make sure you launder it all in hot water and bleach.  Those that can't do a hot wash should be microwaved damp to be sure you kill all the little buggers hanging around.  Your partner will also need to be informed and probably treated as well, so you might want to give him some notice on that now.\n  Like as not it's just a routine bacterial infection, easily taken care of with a round of antibiotics or a cream.   You already know that drill, and this won't be any different.   With luck, by Monday you will know the answer for sure, and by Wednesday should start to note improvement.

Yes, unprotected sex of any kind (apart from oral) leaves you open to catching the HIV virus, and thus eventually AIDS. Of course, if your partner does not have HIV then you'll be fine....

Sure. My spouse has Hepatitis C and we're still married and have a healthy sexual relationship. We're just extra careful to use condoms.

Your question is almost strange and maybe unclear too.\nAside from the other answers you have already got till now, I can only add something about some risk, in the case you are interested in it.\nYou know that with the sexual intercourses many illnesses can be transmitted easily.\nThere are a lot :\nHIV, Candidiasis,  Blennorrhea, Syphilis, etc. etc.\nOf course, it depends on the partner health.\nHere’s because the use of the condom is always advised for occasional acts with different and unknown people.\nOf course, the act itself, as like as the wank, has no effect towards our health.

Yes, Definitely!! It's always you that matters. You should be worried, because these are uncertain times, some people don't even know they have until the obvious occurs. \nIt wold hurt me a lot emotionally if a partner was not careful enough and exposed him and me to an STD. And I really wouldn't like to die because of somebody else's carelessness\nThere's nothing to be ashamed of and if your partner really cares for you then he should not have a problem with taking a test. \nBut it's a touchy  theme, and remember that it's not the things you say it's how you say them, so approach  it with care and there should be no problem. Also, to be sure use condoms, or any contraceptive you choose, until you're really sure you're in a monogamous relationship.\n\nGood Luck

There's been quite a bit of medical lit on this subject and it's still considered high-risk behavior by medical professionals.  Then there's the whole issue of vaginal infections caused by fecal bacteria.  Here's a link so you can make up your own mind.

It may have nothing to do with you. She may just be more likely to get them. I am the same way. However, sex and oral sex can cause it, no matter how clean you, because it pushes bacteria into the urethra sometimes, so people who are naturally sensitive to them have a higher chance after sex or oral sex sometimes. \n\nWhen I was having my problem, the doctor said there is something you can continue to take to prevent them, but I never actually needed, they stopped on their own. \n\nCranberry juice might not be a bad idea either.\n\nOh and anytime she is touched down there, from you rubbing her to her wiping, it needs to be from front to back since the anus has bacteria that can cause infections and by rubbing the wrong way, it can cause the bacteria to transfer there. Once my boyfriend learned to not rub me from back to front, my problems went away.

dont feel bad.  most people dont realize how common this is and how frequently it comes back. sometimes you can do everything possible and it still comes back. some people get it alot because they have alot of sex.  here are some tips: do not douce-EVER., do not touch the  anal area during sex and then touch the vagina, do not wear thong underwear, do not use perfumed soaps, sprays or anything down there,  do not wear a tampon for more than 2-3 hrs.  basically, the women who get bv alot do not have sufficient amounts of good bacteria in their vagina called lactobacillus.  unfortunately, there is no known way to increase your lactobacillus.  you may just end up dealing with it periodically, unfortunately-many women do.

Registered Nurse here; I must agree with you, however this is not the laws on sexually transmitted disease that governor our state.  Now keep in mind, HIV/AIDS, is a death sentence, however the law is on the side of the individual with the disease.  Trust is a wonderful thing, but in this day and age, I believe casual sex is not a healthy choice.  For many people do lie about there sexually history, especially if it involves an STD.  The only thing to make sure is you and your potential partner get tested prior to taking that step.  Hopefully if your both willing to get tested, it's not a one night stand and your relationship has potential.  If you don't heed this advice, make sure condoms are used.  Will not prevent STD's, but decreases your chances of contacting one.  Thanks for the opportunity to address this question.

Could be...your body is smarter than you and doesn't want to spread the disease any further.\n\nIt's best that you are honest with your partner(s) about your condition. You can still pass the virus on to other while having protected sex, even on skin contact; especially during an outbreak.

tell me .. do you inspect your partner's mouth for abrasions or ulcers or check your own mouth for the same?\n\nThere exists the potential for transmission of HIV / Hep B in kissing .. so avoid it with strangers...\n\nWould you like to risk it?

Of course you can! Is it dangerous for your partner? YES! But you can still have sex no matter what kind of disease, but its always a risk for your partner.

This is some type of vaginal infection, such as gardnella or bacterial vaginosis. This kind of infection is sexually transmissible, so your partner should be treated as well if this is the diagnosis.  Please see your doctor.
