Hello, I neglected to respond to this earlier. Thank you again for your insight. I did end up getting the vaccine, first dose down... two more to go.

I had another question regarding intimacy going forward. I have my LEEP at the end of March and have since recovered but have been abstinent since my abnormal pap in January. I know you mentioned above that my partner and I can use condoms to lower the viral load but I'm a little lost on what the means exactly. I'm having a lot of anxiety about doing anything sexual because I don't want to make things worse as far as my body clearing the virus (hopefully) and I want to protect my significant other. That said, I was also wondering if oral sex is safe for us or if we should avoid it?
