Hi lilkaykay04, welcome!

You may have Bacterial Vaginosis the most common form on vaginitis. BV is not necessarily an STD but it occurs more frequently in women with new sexual partners. For more on Bacterial Vaginosis see: http://www.ivillagehealth.com/library/nwh/content/0,,215912_226984,00.html If left untreated BV can lead to more serious conditions. You should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
