Is that what said? We are talking about taking risks, right? We don't know who has what, do we? I don't run a lab from my incall. All I can do is screen, maintain the level of protection I decided on no matter what, and get tested frequently. We, as providers and hobbyists look up risks and make decisions. Unfortunately, the only way to be 100% safe, is not to partake.

Edit: the question of whether I would engage with anyone knowingly to have any infection is answered by a simple "no". I don't even see clients who look like they have the cold. The OP asked if BBFS was the same as bbbj. How many studies are out there that show infection rate for Bbfs?

The risk is not mitigated as some have suggested by saliva unless you are a komodo dragon. The risk involves open sores among other things.
