I'm still a virgin, but I have BV.

I'm 17 years old and a virgin. I've had an off coloured, odoured discharge for what I can remember would be under 2 years now.
I originally went to the doctors and they gave me antibiotics to take for a period of time but the infection did not seem to go. The effort made for me to even pluck up the courage to get an appointment was bad enough, to do it again I was really embarrassed (I know I've been told I shouldn't be). I went again and they offered a cream which I also tried but did not seem to kill the infection.
I have not since been back to the doctor and have often read that these treatments aren't that useful anyway as they only kill the bad bacteria and does not protect the good.
I have never been sexually active however I have always wondered if masturbation had anything to do with it as I have done so before. (Which I didn't tell the doctor as I was very embarrassed)
As much as I know it's a normal infection and should not be embarrassed, I'm embarrassed to tell my boyfriend of it and it's why we have not yet had sex. I've heard that the smell gets worse but I don't know whether that is during sex or to come afterwords.
I have tried not wearing underwear to bed and wearing loose clothing for my vagina to air, but it's hard to wear baggy clothing in England where it's always cold and need to wrap up warm especially for sixth form.
I've also tried to only wash over the vagina area opposed to vaginal douching and any harsh washing actions.
Is there any actual remedies that do work and are accessible for a 17 year old.
Many thanks!!
