Will antibiotics for strep throat affect the combination birth control pill? i know i have strep but had unprotected sex yesterday before i felt bad and am worried that if i start antibiotics my birth control wont work?

Antibiotics interference with hormonal birth control is extremely rare. Don't worry about it. But if you're nervous about it, use condoms for a week or two.
