A member asked:
Good day, can unprotected sex right after treatment with antibiotics cause an sti when initial treatment was given for bv and not sti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: "Unprotected" sex before, during, or after antibiotic (antibacterial) treatment can "cause an STI" but only if the other person has STI germs, with or without symptoms. Sexually transmitted infections are TRANSMITTED, and are not created out of nothing. In order to catch a germ and develop a disease, one must acquire that germ from some thing or some person.

Sore vaginal opening after sex no other symptoms. Have been tested for std's & had 2 occurrences of BV but treated. Cause? Treatment?
Every time I have unprotected sex my partner gets a bad infection. Either BV or yeast, sometimes both. All std tests are negative. I use dove The White and have pretty good hygiene. I have blood in urine and high white cells in blood. Thanks ?
Test confirmed no STIs, positive for bacterial vaginosis. Doc prescribed 7 days of antibiotics and 1 day pill fir yeast infection treatment. No alcohol/sex for 10 days. Treatment done but now i am noticing an odor when i didnt b4. Is that normal?
Slight itching and fishy odor later in the day the same day of unprotected sex. Would STIs present that quickly, or is this more likely BV? Partner and I discussed having been tested and both being clean; offered to let each other see results.
With my boyfriend we started having unprotected sex a month ago. The first time, I noticed a fishy smell that lasted a few days, no STI, Ive been treated for BV. The second time and third time same. Should we just stop having unprotected sex?
