A member asked:
Can hand foot and mouth be spread via semen, not sex? every site says saliva and feces but not bodily fluid?

I am not aware of any study that looked for it there. I assume it will contain virus during the early (bloodborne) stages of the disease since the blood would carry it to that site. There are a number of viral diseases like hepatitis A that are documented to pass through sexual fluids.
