Catching C-Diff from sexual relations

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.
