Question 1

my boyfriend got strep on his penis..how contagious is it .and how would he get it in the first place?

Accepted Answer

: Streptococcus is a common skin bacteria so there is nothing wrong with that. Most people at your age has exposed to Streptococcus species or these bacteria are already a part of your oral or skin flora. Take care.

Question 2

my wife tested positive for strep b, after we had sex my urine hurts and i have bumps on my penis... is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal... no: See your PCP for diagnosis and treatment. Do not let it go and turn into a more serious infection.

Question 3

my 5 year old son has strep. took amoxicillin (sp) and after he peed his penis hurts severily. whats going on? callin doc in morning. hes terrified.

Accepted Answer

URETHRITIS: His urethra can be infected that is the reason why it hurts when he urinates. It might respond to the current rx of Amoxil (amoxicillin) or get his urine for exams.

Question 4

can my girlfriend get strep throat from my penis through oral sex?

Accepted Answer

STD? No strep risk: Strep infections rarely involve the penis and I've never heard of strep being transmitted by oral sex. If you have STD symptoms like penile discharge, it's an STD (gonorrhea, nongonococcal urethritis, chlamydia, etc); or if penile sores, it's probably herpes. Any of these could be transmitted to your partner's mouth. If any doubt, see a doctor ASAP.

Question 5

hi there. i have rather an odd question, i have been diagnosed with a strep throat today but yesterday i had oral sex with my boyfriend. could i have potentially passed anything to him/his penis?

Accepted Answer

: Most sore throats are not caused by viruses or bacteria which can be  passed on to the penis or its owner . So unless you had sore throat from a VD- no worries

Question 6

if i have strep throat, can i transmit it to a mans penis through oral sex?

Accepted Answer

CONSIDERATE: Very considerate of you to be concerned. There are many factors to weigh, but since you can transfer strep to mucosal tissue, why couldn't you transfer it to the lining of a urethra?
Are you sure you want to do that?

Question 7

i was just diagnosed with strep throat. i gave my partner oral sex this past weekend. will he get infected on his penis?

Accepted Answer

Deep throating: As a "Watergate source", I can say that your  partner may get a skin infection on the penis if the skin is broken, or mild urethritis (irritation inside the penis). If you inform him  (not a reporter)  of your concerns and if  this develops, he may need to see his MD for Rx (so he won't have to resign.) The bacteria in the mouth are more pathogenic (disease producing) then even the vagina.

Question 8

what are symptoms of a strep and staph infection on the penis? are they similar? tiny red dots on penis glans when erect?

Accepted Answer

Skin infection: Red, pain, small dots, large red swelling. It really doesn't matter. You have something wrong with your penis right now and it is not wise to wait this out or to nit-pick if one does not have all of the possible symptoms.  Your doctor needs to see this and to get you treated.

Question 9

i have strep throat, gave my boyfriend oral sex and now he has a small raw looking spot at the head of the penis. what is it?

Accepted Answer

: This can be a localized strep infection.

Question 10

i had strep throat on may 5th; finished course of amoxicillin on may 15th. i gave oral sex on may 24th to my boyfriend. may 25th i woke up and had strep symptoms again; tested positive and got prescribed cefdinir. can you get strep on your penis?

Accepted Answer

: If you have strep pharyngitis at your age then you have carried that bacteria in your throat all the time (colonization) and when the bacteria overgrows, you have the symptoms of pharyngitis. Even if strep A is present on your boyfriend's penis, you do not get sick right away the next day because the shortest incubation time is 48 hours. Take care.
