Some Chinese scientists have found traces of the COVID-19 coronavirus<\/a><\/span> in the semen of some severely infected men, raising the possibility that the virus might be sexually transmitted.<\/p>\n

Researches conducted after the new coronavirus also known as SARS-CoV-2 got the human body indicated that it seems to reach sites well beyond the lungs, with viral particles found in saliva, blood, urine, and stool samples.<\/p>\n

Now, according to Chinese doctors’ new study, researchers have detected the virus in semen.<\/p>\n

Earlier before the latest discovery, the virus has been found in the kidneys, heart<\/u><\/a>, liver and\u00a0gastrointestinal tract<\/u><\/a>. And now, researchers have detected the virus in semen, according to a small study.<\/p>\n

However, the findings, published Thursday (May 7) in the journal\u00a0JAMA Network Open<\/u><\/a>, don’t necessarily mean that the virus can be sexually transmitted through contact with semen.<\/p>\n
