Probably. Well, it's possible. If they had contagious bacteria or viruses on the food or drink, these could get into your system. Your immune system will try to fight off the potential infections, but if this fails, you could "catch" the sickness.

∙ 12y agoYes, it's likely that you might get the same disease passed onto you if the disease is contagious, as the sick person's saliva contains the virus/bacteria that can also get you sick when you ingest it. But some disease cannot be spread that way, as for example if the sick person is sick with HIV, you will not get sick if you drink from the same cup, but you will get sick if the person cut himself with a razor blade, for example, and somehow his blood mixed with you. You'll get sick too as HIV is only spreadable through blood to blood transmission.
