Compounding Problems
My husband is my third sex partner and we've been sleeping together for a year. He's had over 100 sex partners. From him, I've received genital herpes and warts, which is dismaying but I'm working through it. My concern is that I also get frequent BV and now UTIs when he and I are intimate. I've never had a single STD or infection before him, and now they're the norm. I just got off an antibiotic regimen for my last VB infection, we had sex yesterday, and today I'm bleeding out of my urethra. What could be causing these complications?
The truth is, our relationship is not all that solid and I can see myself back on the market again, so to speak. Naturally I'm worried that sex is out of the question for me, and that's a very lonely prospect. Any help is much appreciated.

Tea tree oil soap - Thank you, Caryopteris. I'll try that.
We both have appointments at the clinic tomorrow, so hopefully they'll discover what he's carrying.
Does anyone know whether this will always be my body's response to sex? I'm already worried about the prospect of trying to find someone who will love and sleep with a girl who has HSV and HPV, but if I get painful bacterial infections every time I have sex, it's almost worth giving up entirely. It's depressing.

I think he needs to get tested and take antibiotics if he has something. He also needs to use tea tree oil soap to control skin bacteria etc. Make sure he understands proper handwashing after bathroom use and before sex. Some guys are oblivious.
Sorry missed where you said you contracted warts from him.
You are stronger than I could ever be. I don't think this is a case where time will heal............

And I thought my DF's 11 sexual partners was too much for me. Has your husband been tested? Most likely with you getting recurring infections he is a carrier and needs to be treated also.
'm sorry your relationship isn't solid. I was in a relationship like that before and it last almost 10 years and I didn't realize how unhappy I was until I moved on.
I'm sure if you can work past your issues and your husband gets tested to rule out anything he may have that your infections are likely to stop, but if you can't get past the 100 sexual partners and personally I couldn't handle it, it's probably time to move on with someone that you are more likely to be happy with.
