A member asked:
Me and my girlfriend got strep throat at the same time, and now it's been 72 hours that we are taking amoxicillin. can we kiss now or we have to wait?

Probably fine: You might take it slow for a bit as intimate kissing will likely bring out any germs that haven't been killed. Yet;since you both remain under treatment for a bit longer, that will kill off anything you swap.

Kiss away: You can kiss if both of you are afebrile, otherwise i would wait.
