A member asked:
Can sharing boxing gloves cause any disease? i was a little sweaty and so was the other person during the workout? worried
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely : It's likely you only shared the sweat, not any other body fluids. In the absence of any breaks in your skin, it's very unlikely you would contract any disease or infection. I assume you've washed your several times since sharing these gloves, thus protecting you. Based on the information you provided, I hope you feel reassured.
