Many people who have MRSA do not know they have it. My girlfriend has it. She found out she caught it at the hospital. She was having headaches & after x-rays it just showed a diagnosed sinus infection. The headaches continued along with a one sided nose bleed. Further testing showed MRSA in her nose & sinuses. This is a life sentence given to her by someone.

MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is spread by contact (mostly skin contact). Because people make contact when having sex, then you can get MRSA. You can also get it by touching objects carrying these bacteria. This disease is common among people with weak immune systems.
