A member asked:

What antibiotics to take after unsafe sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Charles Kattuah answered

Get tested first: You should not take antibiotics unless you need to. If you suspect that you have contracted an std, get tested and then an appropriate medication can be given if you test positive.

Dr Davis and another doctor agreed
