UTI and sex
My boyfriend wants to have sex while I'm on medication for UTI. This is the 6th day I have been taking antibiotics. I know it's not a good idea to have sex, I want to wait for at least 2 weeks after I am completely done with my medication which my doctor prescribed to take antibiotics for 7 days and to finish it. He is okay with waiting. But he said it was also okay if we did it especially since I already feel better, just that I have to go use the restroom after we're done, use a condom, wipe, and rinse with mild soap around the outside then I would be fine. I am not sure if that is true or not, since he looked it up. Is it? And what would you do?

UTIs are uncomfortable, but there is no reason to not have sex while you are receiving treatment for one, so long as it doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable. He wont catch it, and sex wont harm you either.
You should ALWAYS wash up after sex and to go pee (not use mild soap. Soap is not necessary, warm water is fine). That is a very good way to keep yourself healthy and avoid getting bacteria into your urinary tract or vagina that shouldn't be there.
As long as you aren't in pain, it's perfectly fine to have sex while on medication for a UTI.
