No, bacterial vaginosis can't turn into trichomoniasis. They have different causes. However, they often go together. It's not unusual for someone to be diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, which is relatively easy to diagnose, and later find out she also has trichomoniasis, which is harder to diagnose.
