Funded Activity Summary

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the commonest genital infections in women of reproductive age. It is associated with miscarriage, premature birth and increases the risk of catching HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, the cause of BV and whether it is sexually transmitted remains unknown. Our research aims to determine how common BV is in young women commencing university and also aims to establish what risk behaviours may contribute to its development.
