Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
If you are taking the pills consistently and regularly, these last 7 days are safe. Having unprotected sex during this period does not result in pregnancy. So your husband need not use extra precaution during this period.
But it is extremely important to start the new pack on the 8th day. If you delay it then you will not be protected during the week which follows. So donot delay in starting the next pack.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
