A member asked:
I'm on my 5th out of 7th day of taking metronidazole for bv and i had protected intercourse last night will that affect me?

Should not: If you mean are you at higher risk of becoming pregnant or if you are going to hinder the process of getting over the BV, no. You should be fine.

No: But you are irritating your inflammed vagina. Give it time to heal.
