I was wondering how long do i have to wait to have sex after finishing my treatment for bv i just finished yesterday was my 5day?

Right away: You can have sex immediately, but remember that if your male partner has the organisms on the skin of his penis he can re-colonize your vagina and you will get the infection back. It may help to have him apply a topical antibiotic before sex for a few days.
