cleansing of the vagina

cleansing of the vagina

I believe I douche too much. Atleast twice a month. Is this too much? If so, what can happen to me, and can I change the effects of these results?

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

Douching would not in anyway affect the results of your HIV blood test. As for how often you should, your gynecologist would be in the best position to answer you.

Stay well

douching will not affect hiv results. however douching is not recommended, because it changes your ph balance in your vagina, making it more susceptible to yeast infections, and vaginitis.
