I think you'd have to at least have an open wound and come into contact with fresh blood since it's a bloodborn pathogen.

I think vampirism being a bloodborn pathogen is the consensus.

Maybe. Further study is definitely needed.

Yeah, as long as it's bloodborn.

well if it's fungal it could have other methods of transmission that aren't documented due to lack of study. like you know how brazil nut allergy can be triggered through fluid exchange
