Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is common in sexually active women, and
in a large proportion the underlying aetiology is unknown. We evaluated
partner circumcision status as a potential risk and hypothesised that women
with uncircumcised partners were at increased risk for BV.

METHODS: Retrospective audit of a partner study (272 heterosexual couples)
conducted in Baltimore between 1990 and 1992. BV defined by clinical criteria
and circumcision status of males was determined by physical examination.

RESULTS: BV was diagnosed in 83 (30%) female partners; 75 (27%) males were
uncircumcised. In males and females respectively, gonorrhoea was diagnosed in
20% and 16%, and chlamydia in 7% and 11%. In women with circumcised partners,
58/197 (29%) had BV compared with 25/75 (33%) with uncircumcised partners (p
= 0.53).

CONCLUSION: Women with uncircumcised current partners are not at increased
risk for BV.
