Next day: If you are not having pain or irritation you can have sex whenever you want, before applying the aldara (imiquimod). Aldara (imiquimod) is typically used three nights each week (monday-wednesday-friday) applied at bedtime and washed off in the morning. After the Aldara (imiquimod) is washed off, you can do whatever you want, if it is not painful.

Aldara (imiquimod): The only true limitation is how you react to the aldara (imiquimod). This cream which is acidic can cause some rawness and pain on the areas it is applied on. As long as you have not used it just prior to sex and you feel fine then you can resume sexual activity.
