It is not spread among humans, but it is spread throughout the body by the cells. Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. Like other cancers it is not contagious. White blood cells help to fight infections, so obviously a person with Leukemia is unable to fight off infection. However, if caught in time it is one of the more curable cancers.

∙ 6y agoIn general leukemia is not infectious, it does not spread from person to person. It is a form of cancer.

Can aml leukemia be transferred from person to person?
Absolutely not. Leukemia is a form of blood or bone marrow cancer and is not transmitted through needles, sex or any other methods, unlike AIDS and HIV. I know because my loving husband has lived with it bravely for years.
Is leukemia contagious or hereidity?
I know that cancers aren't contagious and what not, but I've recently read up on things that (can??? can it or does it?) cause leukemia. For example, the human t cell leukemia virus. It says that can associate with leukemia, and that virus can be spread through sexual contact. So if that's the cause of it, then wouldn't that imply that I, if involved with that, could get that virus and potentially leukemia or forms of it? Or is there something im like misreading, or misunderstanding. It's all kind of confusing. So i mean, is there like a "natural" form of leukemia that's caused by unfortunate circumstances (like breast cancer) as well as leukemia that's derived from a virus which is "contagious" in the sense that it can be transmitted?
