Kissing after Strep Throat

I was diagnosed with Strep Throat Wednesday and began antibiotics that night. When is the soonest I can kiss my boyfriend without getting him sick (long distance relationship and he arrives Friday night)?

I would say you might want to contact the doctors office that gave you the antibiotics. Another way of getting your answer is to ask yourself if the situation were reversed, would you want to be kissed by someone who had it? Not me! lol  Yucky

Hi,

You should probably wait until you finish your antibiotics. Strep is highly contagious and you will put your boyfriend at risk to getting strep. If he gets it, then it's going to be even longer before you can kiss! I know it will be hard, but it's for the best for both of you.
