Does my husband need treatment if I test positive for aerobic vaginitis?

Great question! Yes, some of the bacteria causing your AV (like Ureaplasma, group B strep, and E. coli) can be passed back and forth between partners. Think of it like sharing a cold - if only one person treats it, you might keep passing it to each other.

Here's what we recommend:

  1. Your husband should get checked too - This helps stop the "ping-pong" effect
  2. Treatment works best when you're both on board - Like taking antibiotics together for a couple's infection

We've got a helpful article (written for Ureaplasma but useful for AV too) that explains exactly what partners should do.

Want me to send you the link? Or would you like specific advice for your situation? Either way, we're here to help you both get better!
