    Default Boyfriend has noro..

    So my boyfriend came down with what I think is noro today. He has stomach and liver problems as it is so gut pain is nothing out of the ordinary really. Today he said it felt like razorblades in his stomach... then he texted me telling me he v* twice and has had watery d* for a while too. I think it's safe to say it's noro or some other sv. I haven't seen him since the symptoms started- I haven't seen him all day. I saw him last night and he was fine. Ate a half a box of pasta himself!! But I had some questions.
    First, about 3 days ago we were goofing around and he had his finger in my mouth (it sounds weird out of context) and yesterday I saw him and I kissed the back of his hand twice. His roommate v* once about a week ago but he was fine since then. Do these things seem like reasons I should worry??
    I wash my hands like a fiend no matter where I go, especially over there because there's 3 people in a small apartment in addition to a couple young kids. I bite my nails a lot but I also wash my hands a bunch of times a day. I have felt fine so far. I know sv cannot transfer through saliva and I have not seen him at all today and that's when the symptoms started.
    He is the manager of a gas station so I think he probably picked it up there.
    I'm also worried that because of the living situation, even after he is better someone else in the house might get it and it'll just cycle through and I am over there just about every day.
    I think that's all the info I can spill right now.... but does anyone have any tips? And do you think I am in the clear now??

    I do not think you have anything to worry about, as you have not been around him since his symptoms began. You would have already gotten it from his roommate if you were exposed to him a week ago. The only tips I would have are to wash, wash, wash while you're there and maybe offer to clean their bathroom, lol (with gloves and mask) if you dare. I did that for my boyfriend (well, now husband), and it was DISGUSTING. I swear he had never cleaned it since he moved in. Not sure I would recommend that one Lysol is always good! Spray away! And maybe not eat over there for a few days if you feel too anxious? Or maybe he could come to your place for a few days until you feel better about the situation? You should be fine!!

    Thank you!!! I just got word from him that he ate and enjoyed dinner and hasn't v'd since those few times earlier.. which is very good news I think. One of his roommates keeps the bathroom as clean as it could be with 3 adults and some kids. I plan to wash wash wash when im over there as I do already... but I am hoping this is something I don't have to worry about for long. He doesn't know about my emet I know if I told him he wouldn't understand and would think I was just being whiny.. but I'm feeling a bit better about the situation
