Common Questions and Answers about Strep throat and kissing

throat

Avatar f tn Your girlfriend is right, that she is not at significant risk of strep from either kissing you or by oral sex. But her reasons (and yours) may be the wrong ones. Assuming you and she have been in close contact in the past several weeks, with kissing, having sex, touching, and perhaps sharing eating utensils, kitchens, and toilets, there's a good chance she already is carrying the strep that caused your sore throat.
Avatar m tn A cold, strep throat. You receiving oral has nothing to do with your throat.
Avatar m tn i am having severe tonsils and sore throat since had intercourse 5monhs back with results-ve. Doctor gave medicines but did'nt work.CBC and IGE levels were normal. What is the cause of such severeness?
Avatar f tn What you are describing sounds more like strep throat. Do you have a fever? Strep throat can be quite painful when swallowing and cause a general feeling of malaise, with whitish "dots" appearing in the back of your throat. If left untreated, strep throat can lead to other more serious complications. You should seek medical attention.
Avatar f tn Every illness with both sore throat and fever should be professionally evaluated. The concern is not STDs, but strep throat, mononucleosis, etc. But if no real fever, you can safely just sit tight and wait for it to clear up on its own -- but still see a doctor if sore throat lasts more than another week or so.
Avatar n tn 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)?

Avatar m tn Then why i have a nasty strep throat with white patches and pus ? ? i got like this after 3 days after the exposure. im really worry i cried .
Avatar f tn After kissing my partner a week ago, he started getting canker sores, a headache, and a sore throat. Even though its only been a week, can HIV symptoms show up this quickly? Or is this just being mistaken for mono or strep throat? What is my boyfriend going through.
Avatar m tn Outside of my marriage, I had unprotected cunnilingus for about 30 minutes on Thursday. Saturday I developed a minor sore throat and noticed that my tonsils are covered in a white pus. Could I have contracted oral gonorrhea or another STD? Should I avoid kissing my wife? I'm feeling very ashamed of my actions and am terrified I've done something that could get my wife sick.
Avatar m tn so i went to the clinic strep throat check up because i had a bad case of mono three years back, but the doctor said it looked more viral then strep throat, should i be worried of hsv-1. and how long do flu like symptoms of hsv-1 last. after 3-4 days the sore throat is going away, still having a dry cough and runny nose. P.S. if one was to get hsv-2 from oral to genital contact could that person give hsv-2 from oral to oral contact.
Avatar n tn i had noticed a yellowish pus filled looking spot on the back of my throat last week. it never hurt at all, just felt like i had something stuck in the back of my throat. it had been there a few days. then it went away. now i notice tonight it is back and there is some white spots all the way in the back of my throat. i have not had a sore throat at all during any of this, but i have been feeling more tired than usual lately. not sure if im just sleep deprived or if its something else.

Avatar m tn no kissing. and is strep throat passed on by oral sex? i've looked into that possibility but I've not found any evidence that it might be strep throat my docs appointment in next week so we'll see what it is.
Avatar n tn My partner is on medication and is now undetectable. This morning he and I engaged in heavy kissing and I gave him a rim job. He was clean down there, however I have a gash/cut on my lip. It is not bleeding but you can see the underneath membrane and it does hurt a bit, More so than chapped lips would. Should I be concerned about transmission? Thanks!
Avatar m tn In the time frame since, I have had about 2 incidents of sore throat or strep throat per year and very recently developed folliculitis on my neck from shaving and developed a white tongue after being on 4 courses of antibiotics in 3 months (for my throat and had a wisdom tooth out). Am I worrying too much?
Avatar f tn Other things like strep throat is contagious. Strep and staph are two contagious bacterias. Hope you feel better.
Avatar m tn I slept most of the day with a fever and my throat is sore. This continued overnight and into today. I currently have on and off fevers, a swollen kneck and a sore throat (with bumps on it). Is it common strep could come back like this? Or could this just be a virus? Is there any concern this is something more serious?
Avatar f tn I did french kiss loong time and some weeks after, I had sore throat and since 6-7 days i hardly swallow.I feel my throat is tight. Do i have any chance to infected hiv ? If she is HIV +...Any possibility ? Im so stress out....
Avatar f tn could i of gotten this from kissing someone else then kissing my partner and he went down on me and gave it that way....so does he have it then?
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor 4 days after the deep kissing because of a soar throat he looked at the back and said first herpes then changed his mine and said baterial infection and not to worry about it. 5 days later I looked at my stool and see a few very small specks of blood. Like about 5 about the size of a pen mark. Should I get check again or get a std check. Not sure what to do .
Avatar m tn A cold, strep throat...common virus like everyone else.
Avatar f tn She gave me antibiotics and did a throat culture. Today is Thursday and my throat is feeling a little better. But I was convinced it was strep but they called today and said it was negative. Should I be worried about it being something more serious?
Avatar m tn Two days later, I came down with a pretty bad case of strep throat. It hurt to swallow and I had a really bad fever where I didn't even want to leave my bed. It was not accompanied by any itching or lesions.The strep throat was confirmed through a rapid test and culture. Would my strep throat have any correlation with HSV2? My anxiety drives me to worry about HSV2 so sorry if I'm constantly bugging you guys on this forum.
Avatar n tn Yes i had strep throat testing. I don't thnk i throat culture but i had them before. im suposed to go in for blood testing. Im sure it was spread from kissing.
