Does vaginitis transmit to men when using a condom?

Patient's question:

My wife is 31 years old. She has had vaginitis for half a year. Since knowing this result, I haven't dared to have intimate relations with my wife. However, my wife said it's okay to use a condom. So, will vaginitis be transmitted to the male partner if a condom is used? Will vaginitis be transmitted to the male partner with a condom?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis is not a contagious disease, but if care is not taken during sexual activity, it is very likely to cause cross-infection. However, if condoms are used, they can isolate the virus, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Nevertheless, it is still recommended that sexual activity be avoided during the course of treatment to prevent it from affecting the condition. Attention should also be paid to diet during the treatment process.
