“Even though I've been seen for persistent recurring BV infections throughout the year, Heather was the first provider to tell me that the virus can live on surfaces for up to 6 months. She recommended buying new underwear and using sanitizer with my laundry -- something I had never heard of before. I don't understand why this isn't something every provider here suggests because it would have saved me a lot of stress and infections, I believe. Thank you, Heather, for really listening to me!”
