Should i be worried about contracting an std/sti after sharing food with someone?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Other than transmitting hepatitis A, I can't think of any other STDs transmitted by sharing food. Even with herpes you'd have to share the utensils to transmit it. I don't think you transmit herpes from only sharing food but I suppose you could transmit it if saliva was sitting on top of the food. Otherwise the virus dies quickly outside the body.
