It's generally prescribed for vaginosis.

Some classify vaginosis as an STD since multiple (or new) sex partners can bring on vaginosis. Others say that vaginosis is not an STD since it can happen to women who have never had intercourse.

No, metronidazole is more commonly used for infections that are not sexually transmitted. Among the STDs, trichomoniasis is the only one treated with metronidazole. It can also be used to treat infections not spread by sex, such as bacterial vaginosis and giardia.

Metronidazole gel can be used for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, but it is not used for STDs. Metronidazole pills can treat trichomoniasis.
