Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

Antibodies for Infective organism develop within 4-6 weeks.
So i recommend you to wait till 6 weeks for detection of antibodies.
Meanwhile you can get a vaginal swab test now for definitive diagnosis of STD and get treated accordingly.

Nothing to worry as BV is completely treatable.
Feel free to ask if you have further doubts. I will be happy to help.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
