Now researchers in China have found that the coronavirus, or bits of it, may linger in semen. Researchers detected genetic material from the coronavirus in the semen of six patients, around 16%. “This is an interesting finding, but it must be confirmed that there is infectious virus — not just a virus product in the semen,” he said. Still, some doctors are eager for more research into the coronavirus and semen for other reasons. If scientists were to find infectious virus present in semen, there may be implications for the safety of oral sex and the handling of semen.
