A member asked:
My boyfriend was sick with the stomach flu about 3-4 days ago, and has been fine since. when i saw him today i kissed him. should i get sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty unlikely: Infection requires exposure - if the boyfriend is shedding active infectious agents - and susceptibility which means your body if exposed has to have lowered resistance so the organism can take hold The situation you describe is very low risk.
