I'm pregnant and husband just started Harvoni...sex?
So I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my husband just started Harvoni this week. Are we supposed to use protection during sex?
I wasn't sure if the medication can have effect on the baby thru sperm. What about oral sex? Sorry TMI but I'm just concerned/curious
I have an OB/GYN appt this week and plan on asking but figured I could post as well

Keep in mind the above would pertain to YOU taking the drug. Since it is YOUR husband I don't see where any risk would come from. And I am really surprised that a doctor would not discuss this BEFORE starting your husband on treatment if there was any type of risk knowing you were already pregnant.
But please talk to your doctor and if there is the slightest risk or if you are concerned just wrap it up as treatment is not that long. Wishing you all the very best.

someone will be along to answer that question. I did not treat with that drug, but I know the med I was on was extremely harmful to baby, severe birth defects an in your system for 6 mths after treating for men an women. Please talk to your Dr. An I'm sure someone here will be able to answer your concerns. Very knowledgable people on this site. I took ribavirin, so I'm not sure about Harvoni. Take care
