A member asked:
I'm curious as to what is the risk of infection from someone elses blood or saliva?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on: if that individual is carrying an infection, what the microbe is and how it makes contact with the other party ( ie. coughing, touching, kissing, sexual intercourse) etc.
