    Could I have an infectious desease and not know it?

    Related Topic
    Infectious Diseases
    I used to live with a person who used to inject herself with drugs and she would often ask for a sip of a drink I was having.

    What I'm wondering is, even though she is 10 years clean, could I have caught anything from her as I don't know if she shared needles.

    If you had a sexual relationship with someone who was an injecting drug user then you should have a sexual health screen. Your Dr. or sexual health clinic can arrange this for you.
