  1. When used in a single dose, antibiotics can cure many sexually transmitted bacterial and parasitic infections, including gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. Typically, you’ll be treated for gonorrhea and chlamydia at the same time because the two infections often appear together.
    Once you start antibiotic treatment, it’s necessary to follow through. If you don’t think you’ll be able to take medication as prescribed, tell your doctor. A shorter, simpler course of treatment may be available. In addition, it’s important to abstain from sex until seven days after you’ve completed antibiotic treatment and any sores have healed.

  2. The spread of some sexually transmitted infections could potentially be reduced when individuals who have had unprotected sex take antibiotics within 24 hours after the intercourse. It is important that you get prescription from your doctors before you use antibiotics.
