You might want to delay contact for at least 48 hours. Even better, wait a week. Hopefully, your partner was also treated. Protection is good, not 100%.
No, you are not. Wait till you receive a negative test of cure, then you are cleared.
You are only really clear when you have a negative test after treatment. You will need to use condoms until then.

No. You and your partner have to be treated and retested in 6 weeks. If negative, then you are okay to go ahead with intercourse. Assume that it is always going to be protected intercourse unless you are monogamous.
Take care!
