The etiology of bacterial vaginosis (BV) remains unknown. We sought to describe longitudinal changes in vaginal microbiota. Thirty-nine women self-collected vaginal specimens twice-weekly for 16 weeks as part of a vaginal douching cessation study. In an analysis where each woman serves as her own control, we used Conditional Logistic Regression to evaluate daily, time-varying factors associated with a woman’s incident BV episode(s) as compared to her persistently BV-negative sample(s). BV was defined by Nugent’s Gram stain score ≥7. The mean age was 36.8 years; 56.4% were African-American. 46.2% of participants had BV in the first four weeks of observation. Rapid fluctuation of vaginal microbiota was observed in 226 transitions to BV or spontaneous remission. Duration of BV was often short: 51% of the episodes lasted only one sample interval (three days). Among women who had at least one BV episode, the median number of episodes per woman was 8.7 (SD=7.4, range: 1–22). Lubricant use one day prior to specimen collection (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 11.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.96–70.27) and rectal sex two days prior (aOR: 4.48, 95% CI: 2.79–7.17) were associated with BV onset. Rapid fluctuation of the vaginal microbiota was observed. Longitudinal studies with long intervals between sampling are likely to miss episodes of BV. Recent report of lubricant use and rectal sex were associated with incident BV.
