Brief Answer: Safer to have a protected sex during treatment. Detailed Answer: Hi, Welcome to HCM. Thanks for posting your query. It is quite safe to have a protected sex in presence of a Non-gonococcal genital infection. It will not harm to you and your partner in any way. Anyhow you have to complete the course of Doxycyclin as prescribed and to have an urine examination before going for an unprotected exposure. Dr S.Murugan
