Hello,

Thank you for posting a query here.

Look, AF-KIT contains an antibiotic, an antifungal and an antimicrobial agent. This kit will cure any infection that is present in your body which may get transmitted to your girlfriend through sexual intercourse, or which has already been transmitted from your girlfriend.

The infection may not be obvious in your body. The organism may be silent in you. But you can act as a source of infection.

So, you can take this drug. But, the side effects are like gastrointestinal problems like nausea, vomiting, acidity and allergic reactions.

So, you should take a pantoprazole group of drug before taking the medicine. An ondansetron group of drug may be considered if you experience any vomiting.

Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.

Regards.

Hello,

Thank you for writing back.

I am giving your answers one by one.

1. Look, you can transmit or get any STDs by foreplays and even by oral sex. So, it is a misconception that condoms prevent STDs entirely. It is only effective for STDs transmitted during intercourse. But during foreplay and oral sex, you have chances to get infected or can transmit a STD.

2. Look, the kit, not only cure any infections you have but it will cure any infections that has already been transmitted from your partner. So, these medicines will lower the chance of getting this type of infection in future.

You have to follow the instructions given by the doctor. There is low chance of side effects. But except side effects of these drugs, there will be no negative effect.

Hope, you have your answers.

Regards.
