Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal disorder causing discomfort, unusual discharge, and odor, affecting millions of women. Traditionally, BV has not been classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI)—yet new research reveals men can host and transmit BV-causing bacteria, increasing the risk of recurrence when only women are treated.1 Treating both partners dramatically lowers recurrence rates, highlighting the need for a new approach to BV management.1 Therefore, your customers may start to include BV testing in their routine STI screening.
The OSOM® BVBLUE® Test empowers healthcare providers with a rapid, reliable tool to diagnose BV at the point of care. Quick results mean women can receive accurate treatment sooner, reducing the risk of recurrence and supporting better reproductive health. As BV’s role in sexual health is re-examined, the OSOM® BVBLUE® Test is essential for modern, evidence-based care.
Help your customers diagnose and treat BV confidently with the OSOM® BVBLUE® Test!
