AMWA leaders, Dr. Roberta Gebhard and Dr. Eliza Chin participated in the conference, Bacterial Vaginosis: A Confusing but Common Infection which explored the many dimensions of this common and sometimes chronic disease affecting women of all ages. Education is needed regarding the misuse of over the counter remedies, the psychosocial impact of chronic bacterial vaginosis, and availability of new therapies which will increase compliance. The meeting was sponsored by the American Sexual Health Association and attendees represented stakeholders from academia, public health, government sectors, and professional associations.
