Opinions on this? My girlfriend got the flu a number of weeks ago. Since I read that 5-7 days after first symptoms, the person is no longer contagious. I waited about 8 days to see her but I couldn't stay away from her that night and although we didn't kiss we did do everything else!

I was on antibiotics at the time for something else; but it Seems about 5-7 days later I felt a very small amount of chills, night sweats, cough (all for a few days) and was quite tired for about a week. Halfway through I took tamiflu for a few days.

My point is that I didn't develop anything like a full flu (I have never gotten a shot)

Is it possible I was exposed to a highly weakend version of the virus or antibodies from intimate contact with her?

It certainly was an enjoyable exposure.
