Can we still have sex without "starting over" in antibiotics?

22-year-old womana year ago

My boyfriend and I have chlamydia. I started taking the antibiotics on Thursday and he started on Saturday. As for intimate relations, is this possible? Obviously, we would stop on Thursday so as not to re-contaminate me. Thank you!

Hello Madam, would it be possible to know the treatment that you and your partner receive?

22-year-old woman · a year ago

Hello, the treatment is called doxycycline 100mg

Thank you for the information: you will have to wait until the end of the treatment for you and your spouse (7 days) to have sexual relations, whether protected or not.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
