I thought it would be interesting to discuss safe-sex practices and those on immunosuppressants or with compromised immune systems.
Single or partnered sex including oral/anal/vaginal involves body parts that are more prone to germs, fungus, bacteria etc. Even the cleanliest person still wears clothing that interfaces with the outside world and there bed sheets may also have unhealthy microorganisms lying around.
One can't be paranoid but I wonder what precautions we can take since we can't Lysol the people or wear bubble wrap. I suppose it wouldn't be unreasonable to Purell before sex and there is also the opportunity to use condoms or dental dams for oral sex, however most people would be very unhappy with that.
It's likely easier if you are partnered and can be open about these legitimate fears but either way id love to hear what people think are reasonable measures.
