Is There Any Way To Prevent From Strep Throat?
Hello! My boyfriend was diagnosed with Strep throat this morning and we were together last night. I am worried now that I might get it because I have had strep more than once in the last couple of years. I have no symptoms yet, but would rather catch it before it happens. Should I go into my clinic today to get a swab test done?
