A member asked:
If you have sex with someone who has hodgkins disease, will it be passed on to you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hodgkin's lymphoma is not transmissible by sexual contact or by blood transfusion. You're at no risk. If the patient is currently undergoing chemotyherapy when you have sex with them they might be at some increased risk of getting an infection.
