A member asked:

Will gonnorhea and chlamydia medicine still cure the infection if you have sex 4days after treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gonorrhea/chlamydia: The recommendation is to avoid sexual intercourse until after 7days of completing the treatment for both the patient and partner. The purpose of this is to break the transfer of the infection between the partners.
