My wife is allergic to penicillin. If i take aspirin or something that has penicillin in it, will she be ok if we have sex? Would she have a reaction to my semen or anything?

It depends how allergic she is. Is she anaphylactic or just have discomfort?

Anything that you put in your body can be excreted in your bodily fluids. If she has a mild to moderate allergy, she would probably be perfectly fine. If she’s severely allergic, you may want to be a bit more careful. Maybe use a condom.

There are many other medications available that aren’t penicillin. I have a mild allergy myself, and take different antibiotics. If your wife is severely allergic and you don’t want to have them in the house or in your body, just tell your doctor and get a prescription for something else.

Another easy test is a little skin test. It might sound gross, but it’s what they do in hospitals to see if your partner has an allergy to your semen. Just take a pin and make a few light scratches on her arm and rub a bit of semen on it. If it’s red, inflamed, and itchy 15 minutes later then you may have problems.

Really though, I wouldn’t fret too much. If your’e asking so you can go on a date night tonight and you’re on a round of antibiotics, either use a condom or just make sure you keep tabs on how she’s feeling in case a reaction happens. She will probably be fine though.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I was listening to Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld, from FOX news. Someone had asked almost the exact question. His answer was she could be affected. Bodily fluids that get transmitted into the human. body from one to another, may get the same meds into your body. The best thing to do is ask your Dr. It may depend her your tolerance. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Yes you can have sex. Penicillin is not excreted in semen. More over very small amounts if at all is present in saliva or other body fliud can only malke her immune.the principle of immunization is that we give the same thing to which the body reacts in an allergic response in very low doses until tje body recognize it and develops its own defense system to cope with it.
