Can Stomach Flu Be Transmitted Through Oral Sex?

hello i had the stomach flu about three weeks ago. my bofiend got it about a week later. he seems to think that he can get the stomach flu through giving me oral sex. can he contract the flu or other symptoms through giving me oral sex? i thought it was mostly transmitted by kissing and using the same cups, touching door knobs etc. i now have not been sick for three weeks and he is still afraid that he will get sick via oral sex. please give me your professional advice on this. thank you

Hello,

Usually, oral sex doesn't lead any stomach flu directly. However, it can lead to viral pharyngitis through staphylococcus spread by oral sex. So stomach flu can be secondary to that. The symptomatic management can be done for that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
