Baldness transmitted minoxidil

hellothere22
Hi! I was wondering if it is possible for baldness to be transmitted? I was playing vr-headset, switching back and foreword with a balding person (male pattern baldness) and now 1,5 mouth later im loosing so much hair! I am a minoxidil user and is it possible that the enzyme that make minoxidil not work being transmitted to me? Or any other transmitted baldning enzymes or bacteria?
