I installed a new bathroom vanity and sink. Ever since, whenever you run
HOT water in the sink, you get a strong odor of sewer gas. I have taken it
apart several times, cleaned it, ran bleach water down the drain and
overflow, checked to make sure the drain pipes were correct, etc. Whatever I
do, the smell returns in a couple days. Any one have any Ideas what I can
try next?

Did you install a goose neck? Any chance that the water is getting sucked
out of the goose neck? or drying up?

Yes, I used the same pipes that were on the old sink, and every time I take
it apart, the trap is full of water.

Same deal with my bathroom sink, I never noticed any sewer smell before
the new faucet then once I installed it, when the hot water is running,
it smells of sewer the first couple seconds, and then goes away, always
to return. I dont know why this is. Only when I run the Hot water do I
smell it. Strange...

I have this problem in the kitchen sink, and it happened after I installed
new faucet. This happens when I turn on cold water and the smell goes away
after a minute or so. Anyone have a solution.

Did you use some kind of sealant in the drain that may be letting off an
odor when it get hot? Maybe the sink has some sort of coating that you need
to clean off that maybe making an odor when the hot water hits it.

i think it's just a fluke that you are getting the smell now. it may
have happened over time regardless if you changed the taps or not. i
had the same problem. the cause is sulfide - unharmful bacteria but
smells like rotten eggs. most people don't bother to filtrate their hot
water but i did. pick up a whole house "sulfide eater" and install it -
no more sulfide.

keep your butt out of the drain and the smells will go away.
