Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum
Suboxone is buprenorphine and used for control for opium addiction.
Suboxone film in itself is also causing drug dependence .
Previously this causes stimulation of sex ( help in erection and also help in patient with premature ejaculation ) ,but late on it causes decrease in libido ( as in your partner case ) .
Whether it DEVELOP infertility or not there in no any scientific proof about that . If you have have any doubt about infertility then get in semen analysis of your fiancee .
Loss of erection is definitely due to suboxone .
Good luck.
