Catriona Bradshaw, a sexual health medicine professor at Monash University, and Lenka Vodstrcil, a senior research fellow at Melbourne Sexual Health Center, dive into the complexities of bacterial vaginosis (BV). They discuss how BV may act like a sexually transmitted infection, especially after new sexual partners. Their research reveals that treating both partners increases success rates, challenging traditional treatment methods. They also address the stigma surrounding BV and the necessity for improved communication and resources for affected individuals.
