Catching C-Diff from sexual relations

Postby MeliMill » Thu Jul 19, 2018 12:36 pm

My boyfriend just got over a bout of C-Diff. Not sure how he got it. Was on medication and is feeling fine now. (One week past last pill) Am I safe to have "any" type of sex with him now, as long as he is showered before?

I will not be his favourite person saying this but you giving oral sex is out for several months!
Only the absence of symptoms for a long time is proof that c.diff is gone (even then he can still be colonised)
Unfortunately dipping it in bleach might hurt a little:-)
Raincoats are the order of the day!
Stay safe.

Hello MeliMill and welcome to the site. Please read the first thread on rules for posting.
If you have any more questions there is a lot of information on this site about c diff so feel free to read the many areas or ask for yourself or your boyfriend.
