Not from that: Attack rates for group A strep with close contacts run as high 50-100%.It is passed in saliva, not semen, unless he has found a way to put his saliva there.Since normal adults mindlessly bring their fingers to their face (where the saliva can be) that action can pass it to any object they touch.You are more likely to get it from a kiss than genital contact.
