A member asked:

How long should i wait to kiss my husband after having norovirus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Norovirus: This highly communicable virus can remain in your stool for 2 wks after onset of illness. It is usually transmitted by persons whose hands may be contaminated with stool and aggressive hand-washing is the key to reducing risk of giving it to others. If you have been vomiting the virus may be in the mouth transiently, but no data on transmission by kissing. If you have recovered, give it 7-10 d.
