I want to know how long Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) remains contagious. I'm concerned about the duration of the infectivity period and when it's SAFE to interact with others after being infected.

One way the virus can be transmitted is through direct contact with the saliva, mucus, or feces of an infected person.

During the initial week of infection, individuals with HFMD are at their most contagious. It is during this period that the virus is most easily transmitted to others.

Despite the disappearance of symptoms, individuals can still spread the virus for several days or even weeks afterward. This means that even if they feel better, they should still take precautions to avoid spreading the illness.

Additionally, the virus can also spread through contaminated objects or surfaces, such as toys, utensils, or doorknobs.
