How long do i have to wait to have sex after taking antibiotics?

Were the antibiotics: ....For a sexually transmitted disease? If so, wait until the antibiotic course is finished and your symptoms have gone away, then resume sex (with protection) when you're feeling up to it. If the antibiotics were for an unrelated complaint, then resume having sex after you have finished the course and are no longer contagious. In either case, please have sex with protection only.
