system if he is a carrier of viral infections. My son and I keep getting viral infections in which antibiotics have no affect on. My question is do you think it is possible or do you know for sure that he could be the reason we keep getting sick?

He can give you an infection only if he has it himself. He may be getting frequent infections because of his condition.

Lupus is a type of arthrtis. Yes, it's an autoimmune illness, but ther are a number of those, and lupus is within the arthritic illnesses. The best place that you can go to find that answer is to your local arthritis foundation, society, organization, etc, or to a government or medical school/hospital site about arthritis.
Here are a couple of links.
BTW, viral infections are just that, VIRAL. Antibiotics are about bacterial infections. They can't do a thing about a viral one. An autoimmune illness means that your immune system sees all or parts of your body as being foreign tissue, and attacks it. It can't have any effect on your or your son's health. And your b/f is no more a carrier of either bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infections than is the next person.

Autoimmune diseases are not contagious. Additionally, antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. See the website below for more information.

Double check your environment for you and child. Might be somewhere in there
