A member asked:

How long after taking terconazole vaginal cream 0.4% do you wait to have sex? and how do i know if the infection is gone ?

No waiting: Yeast is not sexually transmitted. Many women may not want to have sex when they are in the middle of a vaginal fungal infection but there is no danger in doing so.
