A member asked:

Not HIV: But if the area gets infested with molds, some people may become allergic to them and develop conditions such as allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, or less commonly recurrent pneumonia-like disease from an altered immune reaction to the molds. If you are ill, get out of the place until the problem has been fixed.
