Coronavirus sex, experts explain whether we can be infected by vaginal secretions or sperm

Reuters reported that condom sales have increased across China since the Coronavirus spread the world wide. The sale of condoms is too high that it is currently weighted as one of the most popular and purchased articles from online sites.

That leads to the next question: Can you be infected with sex from Corleone? What about kissing?

The short answer is that experts really don't know. “What we know so far is that COVID-19 is present in respiratory secretions,” Says Christine England, MD, the infectious disease department at Cleveland Clinic. Breathing secretions include points coming from a person's mouth from coughing or sneezing. Because these secretions from an infected person can spread the virus, several countries (like France) are stopping people from greeting each other with a kiss on the page, The Washington Post reported.

But kissing a partner, of course, is much more intimate than meeting a relative. Even though it's normal to think that if we kiss someone infected with COVID-19 we get infected and we, for a couple, don't have very specific details”, says Dr. Angelund. What we know is that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say the virus can be spread by “the narrow contact” with someone. If you're kissing or having sex, it's normal, but if your partner carries the virus you'll be infected.

Is the coronary present in other body fluids like vaginal secretions or sperm?

It is also unknown at this time, says Dr. Angelund. We really can't make any statements about security [of sexual activity] when we don't have any data on it,” He explains.

If you are concerned about staying healthy, then it makes sense to avoid kissing or physically drawing close to a partner who is showing signs of coronary symptoms that include flulike symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, and fever.

“We think the transmission risk is greater when people are asmptomatic,” says Dr. Angelund. If you worry that your partner may be a host to the coronary but is not showing signs, it is better to postpone any sexual examination until you make sure of his condition.
