I need to know... if person A has tonsillitis ... and person B kisses person A on the lips (not open mouth, just on the lips) can person B become infected?
person A and person B are in a relationship (not it isn't me - I'm single!)
My friend is person B and she.. well.. was intimate with her boyfriend (person A) as she thought to come over to give him some loving due to him being ill with tonsillitis.
I just read something that concerned me about tonsillitis on the net here to find out more information.. that a person is contagious as soon as symptoms are present and 5 days after.
Naturally, she (person B) hasn't presented with any symptoms yet... tho' she wants to know if she is unneccessarily worrying or not. I want to know too as I'm a bit ignorant of this virus due to not having ever had it myself nor really known anyone who had it... so I couldn't say... hence the reason I post.
Should she be concerned? I think the boyfriend (person A who has the tonsillitis) presented with it earlier this week... so he might be in that 5 day range. Should she just go to her doctor anyway or wait 24 hrs to see if she presents with any symptoms ?
