A member asked:
Can i get sick by eating human blood in my food (e.g. hiv or hepatitis)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: you definitely may get sick, but not necessarily with HIV or Hepatitis, but rather with direct contaminants, including Hepatitis A. By the time you ingest the food the HIV virus, hep b or c would be dead or inactivated by saliva.
