HIV-positive women with bacterial vaginosis should receive the same treatment. Oral administration of ornidazole antibiotics is said to be the most effective.

Before going to bed, insert a probiotic tablet into the female vagina, no more than one tablet, to avoid irritation to the vagina. Vaginal odor will subside after a few days. If the inflammation does not go away but gets worse, see your doctor.
