A member asked:
In what way can bacterial conjunctivitis be spread other than through sexual contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sexual: Bacterial conjunctivitis is not spread by sexual means. It is spread by touch. The person with it touches his eye, then touches a grocery cart, you touch the grocery cart then your eye and you have it.
