Some are transmitted sexually, others are not. Apparently, chicken pox is present in semen for a time, but it's not an STD. So it's still too early to say whether this is a potential route for infection. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5652425/ I wrote “I don’t think we know enough yet” which is essentially same as “it’s too early to say”. Though I guess maybe I am urging caution till we know it is not transmissible sexually, and you are preferring assume it isn’t till proved it is?

I was merely offering up what I thought was an interesting link. I had no idea the number of viruses that are present in semen after an illness, and I'd guess many people don't either. It's not a criticism of anything you wrote. I seem to be very out of sync with the board dynamic today, because this is the 3rd time I've said something that I thought was neutral and it's being received differently than I intend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I read your post as said neutrally, just another data point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I thought you were disagreeing, but rereading what you wrote it doesn’t say there’s a disagreement. I may have had disagreement feeling from the Hydroxychloroquine thread and wrongly carried it over emotionally . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
