A member asked:
If someone coughed on his hand and then i touched the things he touched. and ate food, do i have to worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little or no risk: The only infections likely from this sort of contact are common colds, influenza, etc. There is little or no risk for anything dangerous, and for sure no risk for HIV or other STDs (in case you're worried about them).
