A member asked:
Is waiting 14 days after my boyfriend was symptom-free of stomach virus a fine time to see him & go to his house/have physical contact (kissing, holding hands, hugging, touching, etc.) fine for us to do without fear of him still being contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Noncontagious: He shouldn't be contagious after 2 weeks if he had a simple gastrointestinal viral infection although there are some intestinal viral infections where virus is found in stool samples for longer periods. Have him wash his hands thoroughly after using the toilet.
