Sexually Transmitted Disease question?

Question

I have contracted the STI Chlamydia. I have been prescribed a once only medication. I have already taken this dose and wanting to know how long until it has cleared and me and my partner can become sexually active again. Please only answer if you have been in this situation or are a medical professional, thanks in advance

Answer 1

ITS 3 weeks

Answer 2

Call your chemist or doctor and ask - different treatments have different requirements, and only the person who prescribed it would know this :)

Answer 3

It takes seven days for the medicine to clear the bacteria. During this time you should not have any sexual activity and also you should not drink any alcohol, as alcohol will interfere with the medications and will not work. If your partner and you were treated on the same day then you can resume sexual activity 7 days from the day you were treated... if you were treated at different days then 7 days from the day the last person was treated.

Answer 4

It is best to wait at minimum one week to 2 weeks. This way your body has by then finished with the medication. If your partner has not contracted the same STI, then it just rests on the week or two after your medication. But if you and your partner have contracted the same STI, wait until you both have waited at least a week before sexually active.

Also it is best that the next time you have intercourse that you have the female partner use a female condom. This way you both have a less likelihood of obtaining an STI again.  

Answer 5

It depends on the antibiotic used.  Your partner should also get checked and will probably need antibiotic also, you will need to wait till your partner is done with their antibiotic regimen also.

Answer 6

Answer 7
