BV is a prevalent sexually associated infection linked to several gynecologic complications and acquisition of STDs and acquisition and transmission of HIV. It seems that normalization of the vaginal flora may be effective for preventing short-term complications. The implications of screening and treating BV to prevent long-term complications are less clear and may depend on the availability of more effective treatment regimens.
细菌性阴道病(BV)是一种常见的性传播相关感染,与多种妇科并发症、性传播疾病的获得以及人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的获得和传播有关。阴道菌群的正常化似乎对预防短期并发症有效。筛查和治疗BV以预防长期并发症的意义尚不清楚,可能取决于是否有更有效的治疗方案。
