Can I Still Have (safe) Sex When I Have Gonorrhea? Posted: 02-26-06 13:08pm
I have gonorrhea, and am 2 days into the
treatement (ciproxr). I would normally be
content to wait, but I am on holiday in
brazil only for a short time. And need to
know if it is ok for me to have safe
sex?
Also can I have alcohol with the
antibiotics I am on?
I hate to sound like an a**hole but I am
on holiday and I am never going to get
this chance again in my life.

No, no, no!
Gonorrhea is an std. Whoever you have sex
with is at risk of being infected because
of you!

You shouldn't have a.N.Y sexual contact
for *at least* 7 days after the beginning
of treatment. You need to give the
medicine time to work. And you're still
contagious, so having sex, kissing, etc.
Even protected has its risks. Gonorrhea
doesn't only affect the penis. It's an
infection of the urethra, but it can also
affect the rectum/anus, throat, and in
some cases the eyes!!
I realize you're on holiday but you need
to be responsible and get it taken care
of. It isn't smart to drink while you're
antibiotics. It can make them much less
effective.
