Saying a final goodbye to someone we love is one of the hardest moments in life. Many people express their love through a last kiss or touch—a gesture filled with tenderness, grief, and deep connection. However, medical experts gently remind us that in certain situations, especially when the person passed away from an infectious illness, such physical contact may carry health risks.
Dr. Viktor Ivanovik, a physician from Moldova, recently brought attention to this matter, emphasizing the importance of safety during farewells. In rare instances, infectious diseases such as hepatitis B or C, tuberculosis, and other transmissible conditions may still be present in bodily fluids shortly after death. While the risk is low, it is not entirely absent—particularly when the cause of death involves a contagious condition.
