Can MRSA be passed through french kissing ect...?

Question

my boyfriend was recently diagnosed with "MRSA" can he pass it to me through sexual intercourse or sexual acts like "cunnalingus" and also other types of contact like french kissing.(we really need to know about the french kissing thing) thank

Answer 1

MRSA is spread through contact.  In a hospital setting doctors and nurses have to wear gloves, gowns, eye protection, and masks in order to stop infection.  It depends on where the MRSA is found.  It is usually located in the nose, urine, or a wound.  You need to know where he has it and you should be checked because it is a very bad bacteria which is only able to be killed by very few antibiotics and if it gets into the blood stream it can be deadly.

Answer 2

whats that is that like herpes

Answer 3

I would stay clear.  He needs to scrub his hands before he touches you.  You do not want MRSA.  It is very hard to get rid and can kill people.  

Answer 4

ummmm yes. MRSA can only be transferred through

blood or if the puss from his wound somehow gets

into your blood stream.

is he taking medication for it??

the nose, groin and underarms are key colonisation areas for the bacteria. s*x workers and the habitually promiscous will be super spreaders in a society in much the same way as they are for AIDS.

Answer 5

There have been documented cases of MRSA transmission via heterosexual sexual intercourse, presumably due to skin-to-skin contact.  French kissing with clothes on could transmit the bug, but the likelihood is much lower.

If you are concerned, he can see his doctor for an eradication regime, consisting of antibacterial baths and creams, as well as an antibiotic.

Answer 6

Unless it's located in his p***s. But seriously, don't touch an individual with MRSA. Everything he touches and comes in contact with should be disinfected.  

Answer 7

MRSA is contangious through contact of the infected area...either directly (you touching the affected area) or indirectly (the infected area touches something and you later touch it) and the bacteria can live on surfaces for quite some time.  

The next question is what type of MRSA he has. If MRSA-CA (community acquired), this is usually an infected sore or skin lesion.  As long as he doesn't have lesions in his mouth or personal areas, your risk is pretty low.  Just make sure these areas are well covered and not draining.

If the MRSA is in the mucous membranes, this makes personal contact pretty risky.

...it really does depend on the type, both of your health status, and his course of anti-biotic therapy.

He really needs to discuss this with his physician.
