yes, it is very contagious in that stage, and i would say you have about a 90% chance of catching it. i would really be concerned if you two may have slept together, being that the oils can spread if the area or body is rubbed or penetrated in any way. keep in mind that it can show up 10-12 days afterwards. i am a nurse at johnson's hopspital in california, so i know what im talking about.
