How long after having COVID-19 are you immune?

You’re extremely unlikely to be reinfected with the same variant within a month or two of recovering from Covid-19, Bailey says. One scientific review of published research on Covid-19 immunity suggested that antibody levels begin to decline three months after a previous infection.

What is a COVID-19 variant?

A variant is a viral genome (genetic code) that may contain one or more mutations.

Can you get the coronavirus disease by having sex?

Coronavirus is not a sexually transmitted virus; however, there has been very little research in this area. The virus can be transmitted during sex via inhalation of respiratory droplets and the exchange of saliva during kissing. We also know that virus is present in the feces.

Well, yes. The virus that causes COVID-19 travels in saliva, so, sure, swapping spit with an infected person could transfer the virus to you.

What should you look for after being intimate with someone new during the COVID-19 pandemic?

See full answerAfter a close, high-risk encounter like sex, you should be mindful of your personal risk of contracting and falling ill to COVID-19 as well as the risk you may pose to those in your own circle. I recommend monitoring yourself closely for any symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, the loss of taste and smell). Also, consider getting a COVID-19 test five to seven days after the interaction. I would also refrain from interacting with any at-risk persons within a 14 day period after the encounter. If you cannot avoid contact with a high-risk individual, take precautions to lower your risk profile by social distancing, choosing to interact with the individual in outdoor spaces as opposed to indoor spaces, and wearing a mask.
