Don't count on it: We usually expect treatment levels of the drug to persist for a week or so, enough to kill off the initial infection. Any re-exposure 10 or more days later is worrisome, and you may not have enough to protect you.Time to get re-tested.In the future, use a condom.It is not 100% protective but can help some.

I had unprotected oral & protected vaginal sex with a 50 year old married woman. About 6 hours later I took 1g of Zithromax & 400mg of Suprax. The next morning I took an additional 400mg of Suprax. Would these meds prevent possible bacterial sti?
Is a negative RPR 17 days after possible exposure reliable? Does it matter if 1g Zithromax and 400mg Suprax was taken just 6 hours after exposure? So meds taken 6 hours after exposure. Negative Gono and Chlam at 10 days and negative RPR at 17 days?
Will Zithromax and Suprax cause a false negative chlamydia test eight days after treatment? What about a false negative gonorrhea test two days after treatment? The test was an NAAT?
