Mrsa history(me) , partner & i on different antibiotics, same infection. safe to kiss/be intimate/sleep in same bed w/o further antibiotic resistance?

Probably safe: If you're both on treatment, there is little chance of transmitting MRSA back and forth. Sharing a bed or having sex shouldn't make any difference. But if in doubt, check with both your doctors. Good luck!
