As to partner treatment - as mentioned by Mommyto4:
Both BV and yeast infection are caused by microorganisms, that are always present in our environment. When we have problems with them, it's always becaurse our way of living or bodies give them a competitive advantage. The only way to keep out of these problems is to make sure, that the bad bugs do not feel good. As mentioned, lactose is a method.
Killing the bugs by antibiotics, disinfectants or the like only helps for a while, there is always some new around, to take their place.
Treating the partner might increases the time before the bad bugs are back in business, but in the long run it does not have any effect. I know this has been scientifically proven for BV, probably also for yeast infection.
