Girlfriend has nail fungus 2 yrs.ago currently taking terbinafine. she has crohn's and a compromised immune system plus on medication for ra. i had nail fungus more than a year ago. she says it is contagious and then i gave it to her. i didn't. help?

She will believe what she wants. You may just be an easy person to vent on so consider it a side effect of the relationship. The facts are that you can acquire fungal spores from people/pets/dirt/other environment. They grow so insidiously it is hard to pin down where they came from.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Fungus spores are in the air, in soil, on surfaces and it is highly unlikely that you gave her the nail fungus. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!

It is unfortunate when anyone has a fungus infection to their toenails. Your girlfriend is very susceptible to the fungus infection because Of her compromise immune system. The fungal spores can be found anywhere and therefore very difficult to determine where the infection originated from. topical creams can be tried as a preventative. Fungal infection of the nail are very difficult to resolve
