Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I have gone through the attachment (attachment hidden to protect the patient’s identity). I would suggest you not worry about anything and yes, you can resume sexual activity with your partner.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hello doctor, thank you so much for the reply.

Can I get sexually intimate with my partner in terms of oral sex and penetration? Is it risky?

Thank you.

Hello

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Before answering I would like to know what you meant by oral sex. Do you have any cough?

Please reply to me with answers to the above-asked questions so that I can guide you better about the risk.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

Oral sex means blow job and licking the vagina. No, I do not have any cough at all.

Thank you.

Hello,

Since you do not have any symptoms, there is nothing to worry about. You can have oral sex without fear.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
