Strep Strain A

Hi, can my boyfriend carry Strep Strain A in his semen?  I've had strep twice in a row after giving oral.

Hello,
Streptococcal strain A is not found in semen but it is commonly found in the throat and on the skin and can be transmitted by skin to skin contact. The bacteria are carried in discharges from the nose or throat of an infected person and in infected wounds or sores on the skin. Your boyfriend should get a throat swab done to check out the infection.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
