A member asked:

If you are on nexplanon and have sex while you have a uti are you still protected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The urinary tract infection does not decrease the effectiveness of nexplanon nor does the use of antibiotics. Remember though that nexplanon does not protect against STDs. You need to use condoms to decrease that risk.
