No, semen does not directly contribute to bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina, specifically a decrease in lactobacilli and an increase in harmful bacteria. While having multiple sexual partners or unprotected sex can increase the risk of BV, semen itself does not directly cause the condition.
