Bacterial Vaginosis Testing at Precision Health

Fast BV Testing & Treatment Available in Denver, CO

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age. It occurs when the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina becomes disrupted, allowing certain bacteria to overgrow. Although BV is not technically classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), sexual activity can increase the risk of developing it. Many women experience recurring episodes of BV, making timely testing and treatment important for maintaining vaginal health. At Precision Health, we offer fast, confidential bacterial vaginosis testing in Denver, CO with same-day or next-day results available in most cases.

How BV Testing Works at Precision Health

Getting tested for bacterial vaginosis is simple, convenient, and completely confidential:

  • Order your BV test online: No provider referral or office visit required
  • Collect your sample with a self-swab: This test uses a vaginal self-swab only, allowing you to collect your sample comfortably and privately
  • Comprehensive testing: In addition to bacterial vaginosis, your sample is tested for yeast infections, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and Trichomonas vaginalis
  • Receive fast results: Same-day or next-day results are available in most cases
  • Get treatment if needed: Providers at AFC Urgent Care Denver can prescribe appropriate medication, either in person or through telemedicine

Our streamlined testing process makes it easy to get answers quickly, identify the cause of your symptoms, and start the right treatment without unnecessary delays.

Common Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis

Some women with bacterial vaginosis experience no symptoms at all. When symptoms do occur, they often include:

Fact or Myth: BV is a Sexually Transmitted Infection

Myth: Bacterial vaginosis is not classified as an STI/STD. While sexual activity can increase the risk of developing BV, it can also occur in people who are not sexually active. Because BV symptoms can be similar to those of sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, testing is often the best way to determine the cause of your symptoms and ensure you receive the appropriate treatment.

What Causes Bacterial Vaginosis?

The vagina naturally combines both beneficial and harmful bacteria. BV develops when the balance shifts and harmless bacteria outnumber the healthy bacteria that help maintain a normal vaginal environment. Factors that may increase the risk of BV include:

  • Having a new sexual partner
  • Having multiple sexual partners
  • Douching
  • Using scented feminine hygiene products
  • Smoking
  • Previous episodes of bacterial vaginosis

BV can occur even in women who are not sexually active. Bacterial vaginosis is not considered an STD. However, sexual activity can increase the likelihood of developing BV. Women who are sexually active may experience BV more frequently than those who are not. Testing is recommended to rule out other conditions. 

Bacterial Vaginosis Testing in Denver, CO

At Precision Health, we utilize advanced testing methods to identify the cause of vaginal symptoms accurately. Testing involves a self-vaginal swab collection (no provider visit needed), laboratory analysis to identify bacterial imbalance, and evaluation for yeast infections, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and Trichomonas vaginalis. Because symptoms alone cannot reliably distinguish BV from yeast infections or sexually transmitted infections, lab testing is the most effective way to determine the cause. Testing is also recommended if your symptoms continue despite using over-the-counter treatments. 

Same-Day BV Treatment Available

Bacterial vaginosis is highly treatable. Most cases are treated with prescription antibiotics. Treatment may be provided as oral medication or a vaginal gel, depending on your individual situation. If your test is positive, providers at our affiliated AFC Urgent Care Denver locations can prescribe the appropriate treatment and answer any questions about recovery and prevention.

While BV can return after treatment, the following strategies may help reduce recurrence:

  • Avoid douching
  • Limit use of scented feminine hygiene products
  • Practice safe sex
  • Complete all prescribed medications
  • Follow up with your provider if symptoms return
