Could I have infected the second person I saw? Was I contagious before the symptoms appeared?

Hello,

Yes, it is very possible that you have infected the other person you saw. It is possible to infect someone before having symptoms. It is possible to be a carrier without symptoms for several months and transmit it during that time. Of course, if you have been treated with antibiotics, 7 days after the end of your treatment, if your test is negative, you can consider that you are no longer contagious

I hope that answers your question
