Are Gardnerella Vaginalis And Atopobium Vaginae Contagious?
My partner went to a GYN and found that she had Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae. We have natural sex so how might this affect me as a male? We are abstaining for the next five days until she finishes treatment. I ve been tested for STDs and was all negative. Should i go back and re-test?
Hello, Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Gardnerella Vaginalis is highly contagious bacterial sexually transmitted disease. It causes vaginal fishy odor discharge without itching or irritation as it not penetrates in vaginal walls. There may be associated infection found with this. Tab Metronidazole 400 mg is the best medicine but sexual partner must be treated with otherwise reinfections occur. Please consult your doctor for treatment of both with actual doses and other medication also. Hope this will help you a lot. Thanks for contacting. Have a healthy life ahead. Take care...
