The Metronidazole WORKS but the vaginosis comes back within the month. Like I said, it comes back almost everytime I'm intimate with my boyfriend. I have been tested for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea and the tests have been negative. I don't think I have had a wet mount test. I don't know what what is. So, thank you for all your advice. It was very helpful. I will try your recommendations.
