Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through close contact with an infected subject. There are indications that transmission is occurring during sexual intercourse
as far as I know COVID is not transmitted primarily through broken skin, so it does seem more likely to be transmitted through sex.
- throwaway5752 4y agoIf you are having sex with someone, you are generally exchanging multiple fluids, breathing the same air, and having non-genital skin to skin contact. Because something can be transmitted sexually does not mean it's considered an STI. Based on what you have read, would preventing fluid exchange in intercourse prevent transmission? You are technically correct about covid. However - and this was my point - if you have sex with someone with active, transmissible covid without substantial and properly fit PPE you are probably going to catch covid. It doesn't matter what type of sexual behavior you engage in, or what safer sex precautions that you take. That does not make covid an STI.
