No: You should not have a problem just because he is on bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim).

No worries: The Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) will not be passed sexually. There is no risk of an allergic reaction to the Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) through sexual intercourse.
