hi max d do you know if it’s safe for me to allow my hubby sex without a condom I’m 68 so no fear of pregnancy I’m scared the drug will harm him through my fluids not to be crude

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice]

which medication are you taking?

[Cat1001954 in reply to Mazcd]

hi hydroxycarbamide

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice in reply to Cat1001954]

the advice we have on our website is: If you are sexually active during this course of treatment, you need to use a condom. This is to protect your partner in case there is any chemotherapy in semen or vaginal fluids.

I asked my haematologist this question when I started treatment and she said it was fine without . So now I am concerned !
