Hello and welcome.
There are two main reasons why sexual intercourse is advised against during the course of the treatment and a while after it as well:
+Prevent transmission of the infection
+Promote adequate healing
As your friend has not abided by the doctors instructions, there is a strong possibility of both transmitting the infection and inadequate healing.
Hope this helps to better understand the situation.
Best wishes.
