Objective bacterial vaginal diseases (BV)
It is common among lesbians that up to 28% of treatment fails.
Risks include the transmission of vaginal fluid.
The authors measured the effectiveness of behavioral intervention in reducing vaginal fluid transfer between female sexual partners in reducing BV persistence.

On August 2008, at the annual meeting of the obstetrics and gynecology infectious diseases Society in Seattle, Washington, the foot part was displayed as a poster.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded RO1 AI052228 (JMM).
There is no competitive interest.
The study was conducted with the approval of the Department of Human Sciences at the University of Washington.
