MRSA ... Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus?

My friend had a boil on his leg, he went to the hospital and was told that he had a staph infection( MRSA ... Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). 3 months has past since he had it, do I need to get checked out?

No, but he needs to if his sore is still open. This is assuming that you do not have any open sores that his drainage got into on you.
MRSA can also be transmitted airborne, and can be found in the human nose, and or lung secretions when cultured by a lab.

If you have a open wound that is not healing, or have a cold that will not go away, yes, you need to get checked.

If you have boils or sores perhaps, but if not, don't worry about it

MRSA, is contagious with the following factors, if you also have a open wound were the fluids could mix, if you are immuno-compromised, you have a chance of being very susceptible to all infections.

MRSA of the respiratory system, is the most infectious by the airborne transfer.
