A member asked:

I tested + for strep b via culture after giving it to a girlfriend, but have zero symptoms. as a carrier, should i still be treated with antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Carrier state can be hard to eradicate--both partners would need to be treated, otherwise, they will keep giving the infection to each other. The most serious issue is group b strep and newborn infection. Make sure other infections are being checked for.
