A member asked:

If a person has gonorrhea and chlamadia but get the shot and peel how long after do they have to wait to have sex again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At least a week: You should avoid contact for at least a week after treatment to avoid the risk of continued transmission. You should also have a test of cure 3+ weeks after treatment to be sure your treatment worked.
