I’ve been sleeping with my boyfriend for 1.5 years. We’re 100% faithful to each other. I’ve never had ANY problems with Bacterial Vaginosis before sleeping with him; was first diagnosed 3 months after we started having sex.

Since sleeping with him 1.5 years ago, I’ve been diagnosed with Bacterial Vaginosis 5-6 times! Most doctors I’ve seen tell me that it’s not spread through sex with my boyfriend, so he does not need to be treated — only I do… but I’ve gotten it back shortly after being treated (either that or it’s just not going away).

I just saw a different doc today (a male gyno) who told me that at this point, he’s PRETTY SURE my boyfriend is the one passing BV to me. He said he probably has an **infection in his prostate** so every time he ejaculates in me, I get the BV back again. He said he should see a doc before we have sex again and be treated.

However, my boyfriend has NO signs of a prostate infection (looked up the symptoms) and he has been treated with Flagyl pills once (I still got BV shortly after we both stopped our meds).

I would have no problem sending him off to the doctor, but he does not have medical insurance… (and may be told by the doctor that he doesn’t have a prostate infection/doesn’t need to be treated/cannot pass BV to me).

**Has anyone heard of a prostate infection (with or without symptoms) being the likely cause of chronic BV??** I’ve tried Googling, but haven’t found anything.

Thank you!!
