Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
HVS culture means high vaginal swab culture.
see the sample was taken from higher or inner part of the vagina for probable organisms like trichomonas, bacterial vaginosis or candida infection.
after they get the report, they will know which organism is/are present and can start antibiotics or antifungals accordingly.


Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
