A member asked:
I was wondering what would happen if youre taking antibiotics for an bacteria infection and have unprotected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely nothing: Antibiotics only treat certain infections, they would not provide protection from getting an std during unprotected sex. If you are taking the antibiotic for an std, it is still possible to transmit that infection to your partner.
