Is bacterial vaginosis an STD?
Some people say it is, some say it's not.
And could it cause someone to get a UTI?

No. It's just the bactera that is normally in the vagina sometimes grows out of control, that is what happens when we get yeast infections too.

I think its concidered and STI but males tend to be the carriers cause they dont show signs of it

no it is not an std it is caused by an imbalance in the ph of the vagina some people get bv more often then others. it also happens sometimes when you are with a new partner.

<<The cause of BV is not fully understood. BV is associated with an imbalance in the bacteria that are normally found in a woman's vagina. The vagina normally contains mostly "good" bacteria, and fewer "harmful" bacteria. BV develops when there is an increase in harmful bacteria>>

Bacterial vaginosis is included as an STD in a government website. Please see the webpages for more details on Bacterial vaginosis.

No it isn't. It is like a yeast infection. You can go to your doctor and get medication for it. You can also take acidphilus, which you can buy at GNC, which keeps your bacteria levels up. I recommend taking acidophilus daily to maintain the healthy bacteria to help reoccurences. And besides, your body is full of different bacterias and acidophilus is good for that.

YES! Please look it up, no Virgin ever contracted it. It is a sexually transmitted organism. It is on all the goverment Health sites and also Clinical Consultation Sites. All the women posting here are in denial!!!

no it's bacteria that doesent flush out twice a day as it should,but however if left untreated it can turn into something serious.

It's not ~always~ an STD. Usually it is an overgrowth of our natural vaginal bacterias. I imagine someone could get a UTI from it quite easily.

No. Its a disruption of the normal bacteria in the vagina that causes an overgrowth of other types of bacteria.. It is not something that is transmitted from person to person sexually.

Also known as gardnerella, bacterial vaginitis, or “B.V.,” is an infection caused by rod-shaped bacteria. These bacteria normally live in the vagina in small numbers, but can increase and cause symptoms if the normal balance of the vagina is upset. It is not a sexually transmitted disease, although it may be more likely to occur after intercourse. It can also occur in women who have never had sex.
BV can not cause some one to get a UTI.
