Hello Doctor,
I’m pregnant and recently had unprotected sex with my partner, who uses drugs. I’m concerned if the drugs will show up in my system or affect my baby. Could this be a risk to my pregnancy?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
While using protection during intercourse can reduce the risk of transmission, the primary concern here is the effect of your partner’s drug use on his behavior. Drug use can impair judgment, and individuals under the influence may not act responsibly. It is advisable to avoid sexual intimacy with your partner when he is under the influence of drugs, as this can lead to other potential risks. It's also important to maintain regular prenatal check-ups to ensure your health and the well-being of your baby.
Thanks
