A member asked:
If my girlfriend has strep throat how long do i have to wait before i can kiss her again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A patient is considered not contagious to the general public after 24 hours on a penicillin like med. I would give it an extra day or two for a more intimate setting. You may already be incubating the illness unless you have been away. Have it checked out if you develop symptoms.
