How Can Streptococcal Infection Be Treated?

My boyfriend was diagnosed with what his doctor called a rare form of strep found in the throat, vagina, and GI tract. He works from home and I am the only person he s been in contact with recently. I am prone to strep but have not been sick in quite some time. He recently preformed oral sex on me is it possible he contracted it that way. If so is there a treatment to prevent this happening again with out curbing our activities? Or is this going to be something I am going to have to worry about all the time. I ve never had this issue befor.

hello, Is your husband is HIV negative ? how recently it been tested? test it in 3 months. if it's negative you don't have to worry of him transmitting the disease to you. Test yours also after that. If he is negative for HIV and if he is your only sexual partner you don't have to worry of getting hiv from him. Provided he is not having multiple partners. there is no such thing as domant HIV or HIV carriers. Either you are infected or noninfected.
Hope this helps. thank you
