Do not have sex at all until you clear up the infection. You need anti-biotics to treat bacterial vaginosis. You may feel better after your first few doses, but, that does not mean the infection is gone. That is why it is so important to take ALL of your anti-biotic. also, I highly recommend eating yogurt daily throughout taking the anti-biotic, otherwise, you may end up with a yeast infection after you clear this one up. Take care of Miss Puss, keep her clean. No one likes a dirty house!Health Question & Answer

Actually you shouldn't have sex at all until it goes away, it could get worse and worse if your sexually active. also yes, always use protection if something is going on down there that shouldn't be. You could give something to your man and make your situation even worse, also you need to see a doctor asap so you can get this taken care of. Health Question & Answer

you shouldnt have sex at all. it will most likely make it much worse, just wait out till it fades away. but i guess if you do feel the need, then yes wear a condom, otherwise you'll give it to your partner. then he could give it back to you, and so on.Health Question & Answer
