A member asked:
Is it safe to have sex or kiss my wife after she had a stomach virus 4 days ago?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Likely okay: If she has completely recovered and without nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, then it should be okay. The final decision would be up to her, depends on her energy level.
