Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most prevalent vaginal condition among women, yet limited data exist on how women manage recurring BV and their perceptions of BV triggers. This study aimed to explore women's experiences with BV onset and recurrence, the various self-treatment strategies used, and adherence to medication regimens.
Methods: From March 2020-May 2022, we recruited females at birth ages ≥18 years, who had received a BV diagnosis within the past year at one of four New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) sexual health clinics (SHCs) to take part in semi-structured interviews.
