Bacterial infections, such as bacterial vaginosis also called BV, have nothing to do with a woman being "nasty" or dirty, and it does not necessarily relate to a couple's fidelity. BV can be transmitted through sexual activity with another partner or item, or it can randomly occur due to an imbalance of the bacterial flora in the vagina, similiar to how a yeast infection may occur.

Answer

I think woman can get bacterial infections from their spouse having sexual intercourse with other women. the reason i think this is because if your spouse were to have sex with a "nasty" woman come home to you and not wash up, then have sex with you then bam you got it. because he just crossed whatever the other woman had straight to you.

Answer

Bacterial infections can come from ALL kinds of things. It's possible, but there are other things that upset the balance of nature in the vagina all too quickly and more often then most know. Such as not wiping from front to back, douching too much. More women have bacterial infections and don't know it then you know. Refer to the link to the right, it's very informative:)

Answer

Although Bacterial Vaginosis is not considered to be a sexually transmitted disease, it is seldom seen in monogomous relationships. The risk factors for this infection are IUD's, multiple sexual partners, and Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
