staph infection... contagious?????
my boy friend has a staph infection on top of jock itch. he was just diagnosed today when I've been pressuring him for almost 2 weeks to get it checked out. we have sex last week while it still wasn't very bad, but it was suddenly very worse the next day. Is there any chance i could pick up the staph infection from him?

If you notice any changes in discharge (texture, color, or amount), feelings of burning, itching or swelling, or you get a constant high fever you need to see a dr asap because those could be signs that you contracted this bacteria and it has grown crazy. Make sure you tell the dr that your bf was diagnosed with staph.
Also jock itch is a nasty fungus, your poor guy! But it can be spread to you too. So really right now it's best to avoid sexual contact with him until this is all clear. Watch out for itching or a rash on your skin -typically thigh area.
Make sure you wash with an antibacterial soap and wear good cotton panties to help prevent infection.
