MRSA

My girlfriend has developed a MRSA infection (on her arm). She is being treated with IV antibiotics.  Should i stay away from sex with her; from all contact with her?

If it's contained and covered, you shouldn't have a problem. It only takes hold in an open wound. If it's draining make sure it's completely covered and not able to seep through the covering.
