I would say that the germs are beat down and are very weak after 2 weeks. And can't really spread in you or to anyone else. The bad part is the weaker germs are killed off first and if you stop taking your medication, the strong ones are left to begin growing again. That's like breeding a super bug, one that is resistant to your medication
