How can i prevent getting sick after kissing my boyfriend who has the flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If you are current for flu immunization, the chance to get flu is minimal. As a precaution, a good hand wash, avoidance of touching eyes or nostril with finger, and gurgling with listerine would be of help.
