Brief Answer:
If completely treated no risk of transmission is left

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

Based on the history you have shared, and the query, if person is completely treated with full and complete dose of antibiotics as been prescribed, and infection is resolved effectively and no clinic signs like discharge, fever etc are left, then their isn't any chance of transmission.

However it's better to use precautions with safe sex and using barrier methods preferably. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
