I have had PCP Pneumonia before. About four years ago. I believe I may have it again right now. Q:I am not going to be able to see a dr until tomorrow. Am I contagious if I do NOT have a FEVER?

Pneumonia itself is mot contagious. The CDC says the respritory infection that lead to the pneumonia could be contagious especially in the second week.

It all depends on what caused the pneumonia. Strangely enough the first week of taking antibiotics is when it is most contagious.
