Vaginitis/Vaginosis... potato/potato. Neither are necessarily STDs. Bacterial vaginosis comes from disrupted microbiological makeup of your vagina, often after sex. Vaginitis can be a result of benign things like yeast or Sexually transmitted infections such as trichomonas or chlamydia. Doctors can diagnose the difference with simple in office lab tests. Here is a good overview: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vaginitis/basics/definition/con-20022645
Vaginitis can be Monilial Vaginitis or Trichomonal Vaginitis. Vaginosis refers to Bacterial Vaginosis. Depending on the causative agent these can be transmitted sexually.
Bacterial vaginosis is often associated with a fishy odor and not an std but associated with gardnerella and other bacteria. "Vaginosis" is not a medical term but an urban dictionary colloquial term for a malodorous vagina. Vaginitis can often be associated with a "yeast infection" but is not an std either.

Vaginitis means an inflammation of the vagina, usually an infection. There are many types of infection that can occur in the vagina that are not Std's; like bacterial vaginosis. Anytime there is an alteration in the ph of the vagina (stress, intercourse, pregnancy,douching, tampons), you can have an overgrowth of non-oxygen breathing bacteria that can cause vaginosis. That is not caused by an Std, though an Std usually causes vaginitis
