In pregnant women, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis have been associated with premature deliveries.[61]Svare JA, Schmidt H, Hansen BB, et al. Bacterial vaginosis in a cohort of Danish pregnant women: prevalence and relationship with preterm delivery, low birthweight and perinatal infections. BJOG. 2006 Dec;113(12):1419-25.

However, current recommendations do not advise routine screening for bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women at risk for preterm delivery.[63]US Preventive Services Task Force. Screening for bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy to prevent preterm delivery: US Preventive Services Task Force recommendation statement. Ann Intern Med. 2008 Feb 5;148(3):214-9.

Bacterial vaginosis raises the risks of infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, HIV, Chlamydia trachomatis, and herpes simplex virus-2; trichomoniasis increases the risk of HIV-1 acquisition 1.52-fold.[4]Workowski KA, Bachmann LH, Chan PA, et al.
