I uses the company's common cups. Today, i drink from one of the cups not knowing that the cup is dirty. Meaning. the cup still has washable residual that can be rub off, definitely not coffee stain. Could be cereals or food items etc. What is the risk of i) HIV ii) Hepatitis iii) other diseases. Thanks in advance.

You have a very low risk of developing HIV and/or hepatitis from drinking from a dirty cup. HIV is spread through contact with blood or sexual contact. Hepatitis A can be spread from someone who has not washed their hands and then contacted food that is then ingested, typically a food worker at a restaurant will spread it. I would think that you have a low risk of contacting any infectious disease. Perhaps Epstein Barr virus that can be spread through contact with saliva, but I assume that most of the cup had been washed and they had left a small residue. |
