Does Physical Contact With Suboxone User Transfer Suboxone To Another Person?

My boyfriend was a heroine user buf now he is in recovery and is taking the strips of suboxone I had to take a drug test and I ended up coming out positive for suboxone.could that be because we share everything and we go to the gym and sweats lots and me touching him it absorbs into my pores

Hi,

It is unlikely that your positive test can be explained by physical contact with a suboxone user. This is unheard of. In my opinion, mixing up of samples would be a more likely possibility to explain your positive test. A repeat test may clear up your doubts.

Best wishes.
