A member asked:
What diseases and bacteria can be transmitted if someone were to spit in your food before serving it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: You cannot catch any STD in this manner, even if the spitter has an STD involving the oral cavity. They're called "sexually transmitted" for a reason: no sex means no transmission risk.
