A member asked:
Someone spit in my ear today, is there any risk of hiv or any diseases from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no HIV risk and the risk of any other disease transmission is unlikely. It is also totally inappropriate behavior and is probably an illegal assault. You don't have to tolerate being treated like this. If it happened in the workplace, file a complaint with your employer. Consider filing a police report as well.
