Is it effective to take an antibiotic right after oral sex if i believe i was infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why? : You are male, i assume, and the potential infections from bacteria are quite low compared with the reverse. The infections that are most serious and cannot be treated once acquired are with carcinogenic strains of hpv and herpes 1 or 2. Talk to your doctor about concerns, but i think an antibiotic would rarely be indicated!
