Both men and women can develop bacterial infections. However, men CAN develop bacterial infections while they are alone.

Individuals, whether male or female, may develop a bacterial infection by having contact, in some way, with something that carries the bacteria. The same is true for a virus.

It is a bacterial in?

It is a bacterial infection, and from what I have seen in practice, a fairly common one, though not all that common in men due to the difficulty of diagnosis and general lack of symptoms. You would be given an antibiotic, most likely Flagyl(metronidazole), though there are a few others known to treat the condition. There are no known long term effects of bacterial vaginosis in men. However, it is best to be treated to prevent possible transmission to sexual partners. Is there anything else that you would like to know?
