A member asked:
Having sex when you have bacterial prostatitis is safe? will it effect my partner if left untreated or will it pass to my partner if i'm on antibiotic
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe but...: If the diagnosis is correct, no problem. Bacterial prostatitis is caused by bacteria that are normal in the female genital tract. However, bacterial prostatitis is uncommon in young men, and STDs like NGU, chlamydia or gonorrhea can be misdiagnosed as prostatitis. If at risk for STD (other partners), need STD tests. If your antibiotics cover STDs, your partner probably is protected. Discuss w doc.
