Should I paint before I put drywall back up?

I am rehabbing a studio apartment that had some earth wood contact/ moisture mold issues. The bottom 6" of sheet rock had black mold so I cut the bottom 24" out. I am going to hit the inside of the walls (bottom plate, 2"X4" framing, back side of the wall sheeting) with a good moldicide then I was thinking of putting a coat of paint with a mild moldicide on everything before I put the sheet rock back up.

Is painting the inside of the wall a good idea to slow down future mold/rot or can it cause things to sweat or cause other problems? Is painting the back side of the sheet rock before installation ok?

Thanks for any help

Dave
