Is it safe to see my boyfriend 72 hours after he last vomited with a sickness bug for me not to catch it?

For extra precaution abstain from kissing or sharing food/drink for 4-5 days. You will be fine

Different illnesses have different lengths of time during which they are contagious. Most stomach illnesses are viral in nature and usually resolve within 3 to 4 days. I would wait at least that long before having contact with him if you can. Good luck.
