YES...it is safe for as long as you do not have active skin lesions (skin abscess).
The only way to test if you have MRSA is a nasal swab and culture because asymptomatic people gets colonized with MRSA in their nose and pharynx. (this is how they get recurring skin abscesses.

The golden staph is a very resistant bug. You can pass it easily, so wait until your all clear.

MRSA of what??? That would make some difference, but I would think that out of respect & concern for your partner, you would want to wait until you are confirmed MRSA-free... This is a horrible disease to deal with, & protecting others is crucial...
