Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and the increased risk of sexually transmitted infection (STI) coinfections

Dela

Women who test positive for bacterial vaginosis (BV) were over three times more likely to also test positive for one or more non-viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) than women who test negative for BV, according to a new Health Trends® study from Quest Diagnostics and Hologic, Inc., published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology Open.

Joining me today to discuss the study and what healthcare providers should do based on this information is Beth Marlowe , PhD. Dr Marlowe is Executive Scientific Director and heads R&D for Quest Diagnostics Infectious Diseases and Immunology and co author of the study.
