A member asked:
Hello! can s. aureus be transfered to my partners genitals(penis) via saliva from oral love. i have it in my throat and i am currently taking the prescribed medications for it?

If staph is in your throat, it's also all over your body. Any personal contact could transfer it to the other person. However, within a few days, transmission chance will be greatly reduced by the antibiotic. Genital infections with staph are rare and oral sex is probably no higher transmission risk than just being in the same bed.
