Will sexual life spread COVID-19, and will men's semen carry the virus? People always have a lot of questions about the spread of COVID-19, and there are too many ways of transmission of this virus, such as human to human and environmental to human, so can it spread COVID-19? Can male patients carry viruses in their semen?
Can sexual life transmit COVID-19? If the other person carries novel coronavirus, such close contact will definitely be infected. Eating together or taking the same vehicle may be infected. If two people have close contact, this situation does not rule out the risk of infection. So, is home quarantine not allowed for sexual activity? If you and your partner are not infected, have no symptoms, and have been staying at home, then sexual activity may not bring any risks.
But for individuals who need self isolation (those who have already developed symptoms, those living with those who have developed symptoms, or those who have returned from infected areas), it is important to maintain a distance as much as possible from others. If one of the couple is sick, it is best to avoid sexual activity for seven days. Is there virus in the semen of male patients? Studies have shown that there may be COVID-19 in the semen of male patients.
On May 7, 2020, an article titled Clinical Characteristics and Results of Semen Tests Among Men With Coronavirus Disease 2019 was published in the JAMA Network Open issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Of 38 male patients in the study, 6 were positive for COVID-19 nucleic acid in semen. It is worth noting that in two patients who have recovered, COVID-19 nucleic acid in semen is also positive.
This needs to be taken seriously. The patient has no respiratory symptoms and has recovered. The virus may no longer be present in the lungs, but the nucleic acid in semen is actually positive, which may be overwhelming. This study is relatively small, with a small number of enrolled patients and no detailed clinical data provided. It is simply a nucleic acid positive test and cannot distinguish between live or dead virus fragments. How to engage in safe sexual activity during the epidemic: Wash your hands before engaging in sexual activity!
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, and consider it a new prelude to the era of isolation. The use of braces, braces, or latex gloves can further reduce the risk of infection. These may not be what you like, but they are needed in times of need. Stopping or giving up on your favorite actions may reduce risk and only make sex sweeter in the end. There are many variations in sexual behavior. You can try using massage, chatting, watching sex videos, etc. instead of kissing and having sex.
