I started birth control pills the 21 day one however i stopped taking them because i was on antibiotics but i recently started ut back and it's 7 days since i'm on it, is it okay for me to have unprotected sex?

It would be advisable to use a second form of contraception, e.g,. condom till you have been taking the pills regularly for a month. Take the pills at the same time each day. Get HPV vaccine.
