A member asked:
Can a cold be transmitted through sexual intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The viruses that cause colds are spread through secretions of the mouth, nose and upper airways. The close contact during intercourse provides a lot of opportunity for the transfer of these secretions from an infected person to someone who is not infected.
