it might be worthwhile for the partner to see a doctor — sometimes a bad smell is the only symptom of BV and it can be going on for a while without a diagnosis. (someone wrote in to formspring a million years ago with this same question, and i threw out this same suggestion, and they followed up after to say yes indeed, it turned out their girlfriend did have BV!) however i am not a doctor. but i am a super-smeller so things smelling good is v important to me
