    You should talk to your doctor. There are some studies that have found BV causing bacteria in the urethras of men. While they don't currently recommend testing or treatment for men, they also don't completely understand this infection. I swear I've smelled it on my boyfriend too before we have sex, but we can't find a doctor who will treat him for this issue.
