Bacterial vaginosis is usually transmitted through sexual intercourse and safe sex is the key for preventing its infection and treating the partner who can transmit the infection to you beside avoiding vaginal douching frequently as it causes imbalance between vaginal microbes..leading to appearance of infection...just hand wash vagina after intercourse only. I assume you had vaginal swap which diagnose the presence of Gardenella that causes bacterila vaginosis.
