No, and yes.

Bacterial Vaginosis is an overgrowth in harmful bacteria in the vagina, it doesn't require sexual contact to contract Bacterial Vaginosis as it can occur whenever vaginal pH or flora is out of balance. Sex can however increase risks of Bacterial Vaginosis by introducing bacteria into the vagina and changing pH. Bacterial infections can be passed between partners, so although a male may not have the symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis they can end-up with a bacterial infection from their partner.
