Hello
Yes avoid sex till complete cure and even at least 10 days after complete cure .
Diethylcarbamazine ( DHE) is the drug of choice but only in early stage .
When such patient visit I also advise alnendazole 400 mg ( if microfilaria detected in blood ) once in day for 21 days .
So also consult your treating physician about this medicine.
Good luck.
