A member asked:
I had a stomach virus 2 days ago, and passed it to my partner. am i able catch it again from him, or do i have immunity from the first time?

If it is viral,: you have immunity. If it is bacterial,you can get reinfected. Clostridium ( a bacteria ) can be very difficult to eradicate. Have your physician help you figure out what to do going forward.
