I’ve been taking antibiotics for the past 2 days for my bacterial vaginosis, and I have 5 days to go. My symptoms are clearing up greatly. Is it ok to continue having sex again? (its with the same guy just in case that has any relavence).

Finish the course before you have sex again!
What did your doc tell you? Don’t take any chances of having sex and getting reinfected if that is a possible issue. Find out from your doc when it’s okay to have sex again.
I wouldn’t chance it, give it another few days. See if you can hold him over with a handjob or bIowjob
Antibiotics do make you feel greatly improved by the second day as a rule, but there are still plenty of bacteria still alive and well. It takes a few days to kill them all, which is why the usual course of tablets runs for a week to 10 days. You need to hold off on the sex at least until you have completed your medications, to be certain you are in the clear. If you had sex now, the probability is really high that he would just reinfect you when you finished your medications. Guys can carry bacteria and not suffer any problems with an infection, simply because of physical design, but pass it right back to you again. So be on the safe side and hold out until you finish the antibiotics.
No because chanced are you will get it again much stronger next time. As soon as you and your dudes love juice collid your introducing new ingredients to a starving bacteria on the edge of dying, it will get stronger and it will be longer for your to get better and have more sex. Besides it would be pretty fembarrasing if your old bacteria came back and infected your dude. Just chill, you’ll have sex soon, try choclate.
I had BV with my last pregnancy a few times. They told me to be sure to finish all of my medication before I even think of sex. You could be passing it back and forth, he could have the BV on him somewhere as well so you want to make sure it has had the proper amount of time to dissipate. Just because the symptoms are leaving does not mean it is gone and if you were to have sex you would just shove the BV back up there and irritate it is what my OB told me. Hope I helped, as I don’t know all of the technical terms but I do have a wonderful OB who explains things to me very well. Good luck
