I thought it was only infectious to those whom FOXDIE was programmed to target? The ending confirmed that Otacon and/or Meryl were not in FOXDIE's targeting system, and considering Snake and Otacon interacted quite a bit closely together, not to mention Sunny living with them since 2009, that seems to show its not infectious (well, not like a standard disease, anyways). The only time it even potentially became genuinely infectious (ie, infecting people indiscriminately like an actual virus or some other disease) was in 2014, and even that was specifically due to Snake's accelerated aging mutating the virus, and it wasn't even going to infect anyone until 3 months from that event (hence why he was going to commit suicide).
