Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginitis, accounting for 50-75% of cases, and is not typically sexually transmitted. While sexual activity can disrupt the bacterial balance in the vagina and contribute to the development of bacterial vaginosis, it is not considered a sexually transmitted infection. Viral vaginosis is not a recognized medical term, and there is no known virus that specifically causes vaginitis.
