Question 1

mrsa and sex is a mrsa carrier legally obligated to disclose this fact to any one before having an intercourse with them?

Accepted Answer

I : I do not believe there is a legal obligation here, however i may be wrong. Please pose this question to the lawyers here on avvo.Com. From a medical standpoint, i think it is the responsibility of the carrier to inform their partner, especially if the intention is to have intimate contact. 
A person colonized with MRSA can have a normal sexual relationship, however hygiene precautions should be taken. Handwashing is actually the best way to prevent the spread of mrsa.
Take care.

Question 2

safe to kiss or have sex with someone who has mrsa?

Accepted Answer

Maybe maybe not: Mrsa is methicillin resistant staph aureus that in the community form tends to cause skin infections and abscesses.  You are at risk in contracting MRSA with any form of close personal contact and or sharing of clothing or other personal items.  It depends on where the MRSA infection is but generally speaking - close personal contact is the best way to acquire this sort of infection.

Question 3

when you have mrsa, is it safe to have sex or kiss, oral etc ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many people have one or another strain of MRSA on their skin without it doing the slightest harm. Shower a few times a day, perhaps with an anti-bacterial shampoo, and then love that special person to your heart's content and without fear.

Question 4

my wife has a covered mrsa infection on her back that is healing well.will sexual intercourse,kissing,cuddle or oral sex cause me to become infected?

Accepted Answer

Skin: No. MRSA already lives in or on nearly everything you live around.  Your skin is a good barrier.

Question 5

my wife has a wound infected with mrsa, she is healing and takings meds. can we still lay in the same bed, intercourse, etc? her wound is on her back

Accepted Answer

As long: as you practice good hygiene  hand washing etcand keep the wound covered  feel freee to enjoy the pleasures of a loving couple

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Are you treated?: As long as you are treated, you should be able to have a normal sex life.

Question 7

if i am on a decolonizing mrsa regime using mupirocin in my nose, armpits, and groin folds should i not partake in sexual intercourse? (no active infections?

Accepted Answer

: I answered your question before. You do not have any restriction in daily life which includes sexual relationship.

Question 8

can mrsa be transmitted through sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes but no matter: MRSA is carried on the skin and is in the dust in homes where infected people live. Any skin-to-skin infection can be transmitted by close contact including sex. In other words, just sharing a house or bed with someone with MRSA is enough. Sex itself usually isn't the issue.

Question 9

can i get mrsa if i am having sex with someone who has it?

Accepted Answer

YES: If someone has MRSA you want to wait until they are cured and culture negative, depending on where it is and the person's immune system, it can as you know , sometimes cause very serious problems and be hard to treat so no reason for you to get it also,   your partners doc should have told your partner that !

Accepted Answer

Pre-ovulation: The lh surge  detection kits determine approximately 24 to 48 hours before ovulation. This is the time when intercourse should occur.
