If you use condoms or a diaphragm you definitely should avoid sex during the time you are using the medication because the oils in the creams and suppositories can break down latex, also if your partner has any penile itching, redness, or discomfort, he should consult his doctor and mention that you are treating yourself for a vaginal yeast infection. It is best to avoid sex for several days, at least until most of your symptoms have cleared up.
If the directions say 7 days then you should wait 7 days.
