Sperm containing coronavirus raises small risk of Covid-19 spread via sex: Study

LONDON (REUTERS) - Chinese researchers who tested sperm of men infected with Covid-19 found that a minority of them had the new coronavirus in their semen, opening up a small chance the disease could be transmitted sexually, scientists said on Thursday (May 7).

A study by doctors at China's Shangqiu Municipal Hospital of 38 men hospitalised with the disease found that six of them, or 16 per cent, tested positive for Sars-CoV-2 in their semen.

The researchers said that while the findings were preliminary and based on only a small number of infected men, more research is needed to see whether sexual transmission might play a role in the spreading Covid-19 pandemic.

"Further studies are required with respect to the detailed information about virus shedding, survival time and concentration in semen," the team wrote in a study published in JAMA Network Open.

"If it could be proved that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted sexually ... (that) might be a critical part of the prevention," they said, "especially considering the fact that Sars-CoV-2 was detected in the semen of recovering patients."

Independent experts said the findings were interesting but should be viewed with caution and in the context of other small studies that have not found the new coronavirus in sperm.

A previous small study of 12 Covid-19 patients in China in February and March found that all of them tested negative for Sars-CoV-2 in semen samples.

Allan Pacey, a professor of andrology at Britain's Sheffield University, said the studies should not be seen as conclusive, since there were some technical difficulties in testing semen for viruses. He said the presence of Sars-CoV-2 in sperm did not show whether it is active and capable of causing infection.
"However, we should not be surprised if the virus which causes Covid-19 is found in the semen of some men, since this has been shown with many other viruses such as Ebola and Zika," he said.

Sheena Lewis, a professor of reproductive medicine at Queen's University Belfast, stressed that this was a "very small study" and said its findings were in keeping with other small studies showing low or no Sars-CoV-2 in tests of semen samples.
"However, the long-term effects of Sars-CoV-2 on male reproduction are not yet known," she said.

Government will be testing all males and issuing Certificate of Ejaculation (COE) to those who are allowed to have sex. Ambassadors for Safe Sex (ASSes) will be checking. Those who breached the CB restriction will be castrated.

Can the flu be spread via sex?

I don't know what the big deal is because semen can host all sorts of viruses including Zika and nobody is making a fuss over that.

Human semen can host up to 27 different viruses

By Karl GruberSep. 20, 2017 , 8:00 AM


When scientists discovered that the Zika virus can survive in semen for up to 6 months, people exposed to the disease—especially those hoping to have children—were horrified. It’s now known that the virus can be sexually transmitted up to 41 days. Now, a new meta-analysis has found that 26 other viruses can also live in human semen and go on to infect the bloodstream. Those include the viruses that cause Ebola, HIV, hepatitis B, and herpes. After reviewing more than 3800 scientific publications, the authors also found evidence that at least 11 viruses can live in the testes, including those that cause influenza, dengue, and severe acute respiratory syndrome. These viruses could potentially be found in semen, too, the authors say. Though not all 27 viruses are capable of person-to-person transmission, they can have other serious consequences, like reducing fertility or increasing the risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease. Some of these viruses can even cause mutations in the DNA of sperm, which could then fertilize an egg and pass along the virus-induced mutations to future generations. The findings, published last week in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Emerging Infectious Diseases journal, suggest that more viruses can live in semen than previously thought. But the authors warn that far more research is needed to understand how and whether the viruses can be sexually transmitted and exactly which viruses remain viable in semen, for how long, and at what concentrations.

Can flu viruses be spread through sex ?

Can flu viruses be spread through sex ?

Not via semen according to the articles I read.

 

[syed putra]

That explains why chinese are shooting blanks when having sex. No babies.
And the need for regular discharge to regurgitate the virus.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Not via semen according to the articles I read.

So the wuhan virus is worst than the flu in regards to Semen. However I dont see how it matters when it can be spread via close proximity via droplets.

It does not matter at all. It's just the media trying to put a new spin on the subject to keep the public in a constant state of near panic.

The reason why the media has a hold is bcos dumb fucks still shout the save lives mantra n making mountains out of molehills. They are feeding the media frenzy n lapping up the media crap. If the ppl ignore the media . The media wont even bother

No sex like that all will die cock-standing. Can have erections but no ejaculations.

New strain of hepatitis discovered. The authorities dont know where to is from. Will it b worse than the Wuhan virus?
