Birth Control pills will not cause bacterial vaginosis, but some women may note a problem with BV after starting the pill if they've recently stopped using condoms. BV is not spread by sex, but exposure to semen can make BV more likely because it changes the vaginal pH. Try using condoms for a while if you're having this problem.
