BACKGROUND: Women who have sex with women (WSW) have a higher burden of bacterial
vaginosis (BV) than heterosexual women; studies of risk factors specific to this
population are limited. We summarised current knowledge regarding risk factors
for BV among WSW by systematic review. METHODS: This systematic review was
conducted according to the PRISMA statement. PUBMED, EMBASE, Web of Science and
The Cochrane Library were searched to 31st December, 2014. INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1)
WSW included in the study population; 2) accepted BV diagnostic method; 3)
investigated or could extrapolate factors(s) associated with BV acquisition,
persistence or transmission in WSW specifically by comparing BV positive to BV
negative women. Search was limited to English-language publications. RESULTS: A
limited number of studies have investigated BV in WSW. Of 71 unique references,
18 full-text articles were assessed and 14 studies fulfilled inclusion criteria.
BV was positively associated with higher numbers of female partners, both
lifetime and in the three months prior to diagnosis, and confirmed BV in a female
partner, but inconsistently associated with partners' BV history or symptoms. BV
was not associated with ethnicity, vaginal douching or hormonal contraception.
The impact of specific sexual activities, male sexual contact, smoking and the
menstrual cycle varied considerably between study populations. CONCLUSION: BV in
WSW is associated with increased numbers of recent and past female partners and
confirmed BV in a female partner. There are limited studies of BV in WSW
populations, and research is needed to further elucidate risk factors for BV
among WSW. However these data provide epidemiological evidence that BV risk in
women is directly related to exposure to other female partners and a partner with
BV, providing support for the concept that BV is likely to be transmitted between
women. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42014009536 (PROSPERO).
