A member asked:
I have strep throat and have been on the antibiotic for a little over 24 hours. can i kiss my boyfriend and have oral sex without giving it to him now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most consider 24 hours on meds enough to consider you not contagious. However, this is generally what we use in discussing public settings.For deep kissing or intense exposure it might be good to give it an extra day or two.
