My wife was initially worried I would infect her. My reply was this:

"I was confined to our house with a shingles outbreak for nearly three weeks before testing positive. You, on the other hand, left the house almost every day so you probably infected me."

That got some raised eyebrows. Right now we are thinking she was infected, but largely symptom free before passing it to me. I seem to be recovering after some minor coughing, headaches, and nasal congestion.
