Скачать или смотреть IUSTI Canada Webinar - Is BV an STI now?

It has been long debated whether bacterial vaginosis (BV) constituted an STI. A recent Australian study published in the New England Journal of Medicine just upended the generally accepted notion that it occurs with no apparent outside cause. In this webinar, Professor Catriona Bradshaw will discuss the impact of a multicentre male partner treatment randomized control trial for women with bacterial vaginosis, as part of an initiative to develop multipurpose prevention technologies to improve women’s sexual and reproductive health. This study has proven that concurrent treatment of male partners increases BV cure with a readily accessible affordable intervention, creating an opportunity for long-term control and prevention of BV and sequelae such as preterm birth.
