Is STD Or Any Infection Possible By Taking And Having A Pack Of Gum From A Person With Probable Infection?
Ok so today in class some kid offered me a piece of gum. I said yes and he handed me the pac. I pulled a piece out and started chewing it. I'm not 100% but I think he's had sex with several girls. Well the gum was in the box and wrapped. Could I have gotten any disease (Like STD's or whatever) from the gum? I'm not 100% sure he has any STD's or disease but if he did. I mean it was wrapped and I pulled it out of the box so it's not like it was touched or whatever. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
Some infections can be transmitted through dirty objects but you can rarely have a sexually transmissible infection through what you have described. You do not need to worry about it.
I hope I have answered your query
I wish you good health
