(1) "to have social contacts" is a V-O (verb-object construction)
& means "to have certain people whom one sees socially"
Example ~ "He has no social contacts outside of the 'drug world'
and could easily relapse."

(2) "to have social contact" is a more like a pure, intransitive
verb and is often combined with an indirect object, using "with"
e.g. "He has social contact *with* people of all ages"


I think 交流 matches (2) since it's not a V-O but an intransitive
verb, often combined with an indirect object using 跟, as in the
following example ~
我大学以前都不喜欢跟男生交流的。但是上了大学后就慢慢改
了。
