Other Types of Contact

• Limited contact with strep: Exposed to someone outside the home with a positive strep test (e.g., at school).
• Sometimes the contact is with a person who was treated for clinical symptoms of a strep infection without any culture or testing.
• If the contact was with someone taking antibiotics for over 24 hours, they are not contagious.
• Throat cultures and rapid strep tests aren't urgent. Most can be done in your doctor's office.
