Believed to be zoonotic in origin, COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus subtype, which spreads from person to person through droplet transmission. As of late April, 2020, 895,766 cases of COVID-19 infections were recorded in the United States. This infection was responsible for 50,439 deaths. Because of close, person-to-person proximity, coupled with possible contact with body fluids, transmission of COVID-19 during sexual activity is possible. However, some activities carry higher risks of transmission than others. This article explores the risks of COVID-19 transmission associated with kissing, oral sex (fellatio and annilingus), and anal receptive and anal insertive intercourse among men who have sex with men (MSM). Recommendations for counseling MSM on safer sexual decision-making, many of which are applicable in the general prevention of sexually transmitted infections, are also provided. Nurse practitioners can serve as advocates in preventing sexually associated COVID-19 communication in MSM and contribute to the advancement of this continuously evolving area of public health science.
据信，COVID-19 源于动物，是一种新型冠状病毒亚型，通过飞沫传播在人与人之间传播。截至 2020 年 4 月底，美国已记录到 895766 例 COVID-19 感染病例。这种感染导致 50439 人死亡。由于密切的人际接近，加上可能接触体液，COVID-19 可能会通过性活动传播。然而，有些活动比其他活动的传播风险更高。本文探讨了在男男性行为者（MSM）中亲吻、口交（口交和肛交）以及肛交时 COVID-19 传播的风险。还为 MSM 提供了有关安全性行为决策的咨询建议，其中许多建议适用于性传播感染的一般预防。执业护士可以作为倡导者，在 MSM 中预防与性传播相关的 COVID-19 传播，并为这一不断发展的公共卫生科学领域做出贡献。
