I know it is contagious by direct coughing and sneezing but I was not sure if it can be caught from kissing as well? I was kissing my boyfriend Sunday and on Tuesday I was tested for pertussis. Is he at risk? I know for a fact that I did not cough or sneeze on him directly. Please let me know, thank you so much
