This isn’t as well studied as I’d like, but he might ask his hypothetical girlfriend to gargle a peroxide-based mouthwash at the start of the night (or at regular invervals). He might also want to use mouthwash himself at the end of the night (or at regular intervals).
We know that peroxide mouthwashes kill viruses and bacteria very quickly, and at the very least it should decrease the amount of bacteria you’re exposed to and hopefully that would at least decrease severity?
The CDC also thinks it spreads through the air, so if he’s hypothetically not kissing his girlfriend, the standard COVID prevention methods might help too (ventillation, air purifier, masks).
Regarding antibiotics, if he isn’t able or willing to take antibiotics proactively, he might lookup the incubation period for the disease and schedule a doctor or urgent care appointment for the earliest point where the test they use to confirm bacterial infection is likely to come back positive.
