Accepted Answer

Roseola is: a viral illness. It is not contagious once the symptoms develop but is before they do so it is difficult to stop spread.  It lasts about a week at the most. It is caused by a virus called human herpes virus 6 and another variant HHV 7.  These are in the class of Herpes viruses buy do not cause cold sores or other herpes lesions. Once infected you develop antibodies which destroy the virus.

You can kiss again: It is not the virus itself that "stays" in your body forever, but the response the body has to the virus (the antibodies) that stay in the body almost forever.  The antibodies are not contagious and therefore you can kiss after the acute infection has resolved.

Good lu ck.
