Expert: - 11/25/2008


Question
I am 27 weeks pregnant.  My partner is adicted to pot and ecstasy.  With unprotected sex, will I test positive for drug use?  I think he might stop if he thinks so.

Answer
Karol,

Stranger things have happened and it leaves the body by secretions and pores so I think it would be safe to say it is possible. There have been known cases where individuals had sexual encounters with another on substances and have had it in their system. It just depends on the case but I wouldn't take any chances.
