A member asked:
After treatment (penicillin shot) for primary syphilis, when can i have sex again? am i still contagious after 2 weeks ? do i need all sores to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syphilis patients are non-contagious within 24 hours of receiving penicillin. It's often advised they wait a week before having sex, but that's very conservative and usually unnecessary.
