I believe this is the actual source of sex obsession, love at first sight, teenage pregnancy, dysfunctional couples, infidelity, infertility, impotence and divorce: Low level genital infection. Prove Me Wrong.
Huge Thanks to this research team.
Common vaginal condition is really an STD, study finds
A common but potentially dangerous vaginal infection that affects nearly 1 in 3 women globally should be considered a sexually transmitted disease, a new study says.
Bacterial vaginosis is currently viewed as a woman’s issue, thus leaving the sexual partner untreated.
“Our trial has shown that reinfection from partners is causing a lot of the BV recurrence women experience, and provides evidence that BV is in fact a STI (sexually transmitted infection)".
Viewing such a common vaginal infection as a sexually transmitted disease would be a “paradigm shift” and would require doctors to encourage a woman’s male partner to share responsibility for transmission and treatment, according to an editorial published alongside the study.
They should probably treat these peoples' mouths too.
For the record, the antibiotics they used are very effective at killing most of a P. gingivalis infection. They are notorious for leaving persistent colonies though.
