Question 5

i have bv is it ok to have sex without a condom ?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: Your BV should be treated, probably with metronidazole. Until then, it would be best to avoid sex or to use condoms consistently. BV often persists or is harder to cure with continued sex. Also, you and your partner should be tested for STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia, which are more common in people with BV.

Question 6

when is it ok to have sex after jock iitch?

Accepted Answer

When you feel OK: This is a superficial fungal infection of the skin, and if it is being treated and you are comfortable this shoud not inhibit sexual activity.

Question 7

when is it ok to have sex after birth?

Accepted Answer

6-8 weeks: After birth the cervix leading to the uterus is open and infection is more likely.  Infection during this time can be devastating as well.  I recommend no penetrative intercourse (no toys, no anal intercourse, no vaginal intercourse)  until you are seen by your doctor usuaully at 6 weeks.  They may advise you to wait a week or two.

Question 8

is it ok to have sex two weeks after having a baby ?

Accepted Answer

No contraindication: If ready and no discomfort, go for it.

Question 9

is it ok to have sex the night before an sti testing ?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: If by "sex" you mean unprotected heterosexual intercourse with ejaculation, I would recommend that you abstain; this is especially true if your STI testing will include a pelvic examination (as opposed to simply blood or urine STI testing). Take care

Question 10

is it ok to have sex with someone with jock itch?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You will come into contact with the fungus causing the jock itch, just as you would if you shared a bathroom floor with someone who had athlete's foot.  However, that kind of fungus is very common anyway, and coming into contact with it doesn't mean you'll get an infection from it.  If you do, it's easy enough to treat.
