Strep Throat

Over the past 8 months, 4 girls I have made out with have soon after been diagnosed with sstrep throat.
the first was my girlfriend at the time and we had oral sex when she had strep.
The second girl and I made out and had oral sex in the same night and a couple days later she was diagnosed with strep.
the third girl and I made out a few times and after about 3 or 4 nights of making out, we had oral sex. two days later she told me she was diagnosed with strep.
the most recent occurrence was someone who I made out with twice and no oral sex has occurred. She just told me she was diagnosed with strep.
Is it possible that the infection is living in my body and I haven't experienced any symptoms, yet I have passed it on to these other girls who become symptomatic?
If so, how do I get tested/cure the issue?

So I had unprotected sex 5 days ago. I got a strep test and it came back positive. Is it likely that strep co insides with std's? Or is strep more likely to get that instead of std's? Or they co inside together at all?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

A strep throat infection may not last as long as eight months. But it can occur repeatedly and can spread by droplets. A throat swab can help to diagnose a streptococcal infection. Repeated strep throat infections can be an indication for tonsillectomy, as the tonsils can harbor the bacteria. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
