I understand your concern about sexual activity while experiencing symptoms. While I want to be helpful, I must emphasize that the safest approach is to avoid sexual activity until:1. Your symptoms have completely cleared2. You've completed your prescribed medication course3. Your healthcare provider has given you clearanceEven with condom use, there's still a risk of transmission when symptoms are present, as some STDs can spread through skin-to-skin contact beyond the area protected by condoms. The tingling sensations you're experiencing could indicate active infection.I strongly recommend:- Waiting until symptoms fully resolve- Completing your prescribed treatment- Consulting with your healthcare provider for specific guidance about when it's safe to resume sexual activity- Having an open discussion with your partner about the situationYour health and your partner's health should be the top priority. If you need more specific medical advice, please consult with your healthcare provider who knows your complete medical history.
