I was diagnosed with hand foot mouth disease when will i know that the virus is gone?

HFM shedding: Hand Foot Mouth Disease is a viral infection which is most contagious during the period when the infected person feels most ill (5-10 days). Viral shedding will likely continue to occur for weeks after the primary infection, but the transmission rate is much lower.

Depends on variables: Oral secretions will be contagious for a week to 10 days while the virus can still be present in the stool for 6 weeks.In texas the department of health permits kids with hfm to return to day care after the fever is gone.Normal hygienic practices will prevent spread among susceptible adults.
