: 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.
