Someone suggested that I should refrain from antibiotics due to the
addition of new strains of viruses... I try avoid to antibiotics in my
personal life as well so it got me thinking.

When a human takes antibiotics, unless it is a shot, there is a regiment
(6 to 10 pills) of medication that have to be taken (according to the
doctor). Stopping the intake of the antibiotic can lead to stronger
viruses and some other stuff I really don't understand (and maybe this
whole theory is wrong as well?).

So, do you have to keep giving fish Antibiotics if you start?

First of all, antibiotics don't work on viruses, they work on bacteria.
Secondly, when you are administering antibiotics to fish, you should always
continue the treatment until completion. That is, if the instructions say to
give x amount over 7 days, that is what you should do. Always follow the
instructions on the package.
