I hooked up with my co worker and ever since that day I had an infection and I’m 99% sure it’s from him should I tell him? I’m a bit embarrassed Or make some other excuse as to why I can’t hook up
Yep. You should tell him. Definitely. It's the right thing to do. Plus he gave you the infection. What are you embarrassed about. He needs to know (I assume he doesn't know... or he would have gotten treated, or at the very least not had unprotected sex).
BV is not contagious from male to female contact. It can pass from female to female but he can’t pass it to you. It occurs because the bacterial balance in your vagina is upset, causing overgrowth of a certain type of bacteria. Unprotected sex, especially with a new partner, is often the cause. Sometimes it happens with a long term monogamous partner. Doctors are not entirely sure why that happens. It can also happen from using sex toys or douching. Basically anything introduced into the vagina has the potential to upset the balance of your natural bacteria. It’s not serious and usually corrects itself on its own. If it persists, see your doctor.
Well a quick Google search sense I've never heard of bv says it isn't sexualy transmitted, says it can be caused by sex or over douching.
Either way it just sounds like a spicey yeast infection in layman's terms, dosent seem like a man can catch it, seems like you ph is off from either too much use or too much cleaning.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I would tell him he has a right to know. Did you use condoms?
No it was unprotected
uggg it is probably best to tell him
Yes it is your legal obligation actually, and it can be grounds for lawsuit if you don't disclose this info before having sex. In fact you can and should sue the guy who gave you that infection. If he has HIV or something serious he needs to be registered under HIPAA.
I digress with BV it's not certain how women actually get this, so there is no real reason to sue the guy who you had a casual fling with. It could actually be the soap you are using causing an inflammation and bacteria to develop. But the point still stands it is your legal obligation to disclose the STD and get treated.
yes.. not just should.. u have to tell him..
