Could a bacterial vaginosis infection affect the outcome of a pregnancy test?

I am now treating a bacterial infection…& I really think that I am pregnant, but I keep testing negative on home pregnancy test. I have missed a period and I am experiencing the common symptoms.
I was wondering if anyone knew what could be the problem? Thanks so much.

please see a doctor for a culture of your BV and for a blood pregnancy test.
