Normally a: week to ten days is necessary before having sex again HOWEVER IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT YOUR PARTNER WAS INFECTED! Speak with your Provider about a prescription for your partner often a single pill is all tha will be required! Hope this helps Dr Z

Various times : there is no way to know how fast exactly one individual will respond to treatment for a vaginal yeast infection. Used is not sexually transmitted so there is no need to delay sexual activity if you are feeling up to it

Short time: Usually you take Monistat as an anti fungal medicine for a presumed vaginal yeast infection. You take it until the symptoms have resolved. Candida, also known as monilia, is a normal inhabitant of the body so you don't treat to sterilize the entire surface of the body. You can have sexual relations with your boyfriend whenever you two so choose.
