I have an infection in my lower left leg.  I was treated in the ER three days ago and was given IV antibiotics.  I am currently taking doxycycline and keflex as prescribed.  Can I transmit anything I have through sexual contact with my pregnant girlfriend?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, if you have local infection at the leg only, you will never transmits it to your pregnant girlfriend. But if you have systemic infection and the infection of leg occurs because of that systemic illness than you might be infected your girlfriend. You should wear condom while doing sex, as it can prevent the transmission of infection. Please maintain local level cleanliness as it can be also important in maintaining the infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
