Can you get an STD from someone who is treated with antibiotics and is the person still infected?
The short answer is yes. The person being treated for a bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, chlamydia, bacterial vaginosis, syphilis) must complete the medication and be sex free for 7 days.
The viral infections are not curable and can be spread even when there are no symptoms, and even if the person has never had an outbreak. Medications like Valtrex do no decrease the ability to spread the disease, they just help control the symptoms.

Quite simply, yes. If one partner has an STI, and are getting it treated, the other partner can pick up the infection in the meantime. So guess what, the treatment fixes the first person's STI, and then they get reinfected by having sexual contact with you. You have to wait until the STI is cured before having sex I'm afraid. The best thing to do is for both of you to go to a clinic, and both get the treatment at the same time. And no sex until the treatment is finished!
