Im on tri sprintec and i want to know when its safest to have unprotected sex i got put on it monday and i want to have sex

In 2 weeks: I usually tell my patients that the birth control pill is preventing pregnancy once they have been on the pill two weeks. So after 2 weeks they don't need to use a backup method of birth control any more. So you can have sex now but use a backup method such as condoms.
