A member asked:

We are both taking flagyl, can we have unprotected sex with each other?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Philip Miller answered

Not unless you: want to be called "Daddy"- protect yourself at all times, unless planning to raise a family and assuming you have not been in contact with an infected sexual partner.
