I'll clarify - the only way a patient at that level of illness could give you an infection is through direct sustained sexual contact, ingesting their bodily fluids, or rubbing those fluids directly onto a mucous membrane (i.e. not from person to surface to membrane). Even then, the chances of developing infection would depend on the person.

So...as long as they don't puke into someone's soup, who then continues eating said soup, no risk.
