Resolved question:
If I have sex 1 day after applying Permethrin for scabies, do I still risk spreading the infestation to my partner?

Hello,
Yes there is small risk of transmitting scabies to the partner. Single application might not give a 100% eradication. So a repeat application is suggested after a week (In consult with your Doctor). Unless thoroughly sterilised the infection can also spread via clothes / bedsheets etc.
Hope this helps
Please feel free to ask followup questions.
Thank you
