I read in the archives that a dose of silver on a daily basis will help with my recurring BV? Could some provide more information? Also, can my boyfriend contract BV from performing oral sex on me? Does he need to be treated?

Bv solutions!

I read on another forum of a lady taking organic applecider vinegar for general heath purposes and she discovered it cleared up her longtime and cronic BV and has been free of this for some time now. I put 3 tablespoons in cup of water and drank this morning and at noon with 2 tablespoons in water. Also Reuteri Probiotics, folic acid 800 mcg and B-complex 100mg (you want the B6 100 mg in this). So far the burning is already gone just in these few hours and I've been dealing with this on and off for several years now. Only antibiotics took care of it in past. I will let you know if it clears up and stays away as with this other lady. It almost makes sense as we need the acidity and probiotics in the vagina and this stuff goes directly to the intestinal tract and vaginal area.

To answer your question, no, your boyfriend cannot contract BV if that truely is what you have. BV is simply an overgrowth of bad bacteria due to a high (alkaline) vaginal pH. However, if what you have is Trichomoniasis, then it is sexually transmitted and you will need antibiotics. You should go to your gynocologist and get tested to find out for sure.

I'm sorry I do not know much about colloidal silver, except that if you take too much of it, it will turn your skin silver/blue, which is irreversible. I wouldn't mess with that stuff when there are other reliable methods you can find over the counter to treat BV. Good luck.

Nope, wrong, your partner can "carry" BV and then as a result can reinfect you. Same with sex toys, unless you clean them thoroughly. Im not entirely sure if this applies for oral, but it definitely rings true for intercourse. So condoms are essential.
