Yes. People who are told that they have frequent "strep throats" most commonly are asymptomatic carriers of the Streptococcus organism which causes the infection. In these people, your physician may ask you to come back after being treated to make sure the infection is cured - to make sure the bacteria are killed and a strep test becomes negative.

∙ 11y agoThe medical condition, commonly known as "strep throat", is, in fact, Streptococcal Pharyngitis - a throat infection caused by the bacteria of Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus Group A. And yes, a person can be a carrier, i.e. have the bacteria without exhibiting any symptoms whatsoever. These carriers play a major part in spreading this infection. Because the carriers are asymptomatic, they do not seek or receive any treatment, while being able to contaminate others. However, there is no consensus in medical circles on whether or not the carriers need to be sought out and treated.

Classic Strep throat infection demonstates with rapid onset high fever and severe inflamed and sore throat. If you tested positive for strep without these symptoms, you MAY be a carrier.

They will often have "recurring" strep throat "infections" that are unresponsive to antibiotics. Consider asking your doctor if you could be a carrier.
