The other three infected individuals are all men, specifically the pregnant woman's boss, current boyfriend, and male colleague.
It's said that upon hearing the news, the pregnant woman's current boyfriend turned pale on the spot.
He was infuriated not because he contracted syphilis and AIDS, but because the boss and male colleague were also infected. You see, with syphilis or AIDS, ordinary physical contact doesn't transmit the disease.
Usually, it's only through contact with the patient's bodily fluids that infection is likely.
Moreover, if the skin surface of the hands contacts the patient's bodily fluids, as long as the skin is intact, infection won't occur. The skin is the first line of defense in our immune system, much more formidable than one might imagine.
Nearly 99.9% of bacteria and viruses are kept out by this barrier.
