It will vary from person to person in the length of time but the rule of thumb is that you will be able to spread the virus until a full sequential 24 hours have passed from the last time you had a fever. You'll need to check your temperature regularly to be sure it is down and staying down.

Adults are contagious one or two days before symptoms of the common cold start and approximately a week after. Children can be contagious even longer, as much as two weeks after symptoms have started. You are most contagious earlier in your illness rather than later. Some people can be infected with a common cold virus and have no symptoms, but still spread the virus to others. See the related links section below for a link to more information.

Fevers are not contagious, but the sickness that you have that is causing your fever could be contagious. The degree of contagiousness depends on the disease causing the fever.

You are most contagious before you have symtpoms and, yes, while you have a fever. Generally you are not longer contagious after being fever free for 24-48 hrs.
