Isici sonke sokuhlukaniswa kwe-COVID-19 nakanjani sishintshe indawo yezocansi nokuthandana. Ngenkathi uhlangana nabantu i-IRL ithathe isihlalo sangemuva, ubulili beFaceTime, izingxoxo ezinde, kanye nezithombe zocansi ezinama-coronavirus konke kunesikhashana.

Noma ngabe ubuphumelela ngenxa yezinto zokuzilibazisa ezishiwo ngenhla, kungenzeka ukuthi usazibuza ukuthi yini ngempela engekho etafuleni njengamanje. Ngenhlanhla idolobha laseNew York laqala ukusifundisa sonke nge-Sex and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Isiqondiso sisekelwe kulokho okwaziwayo mayelana nokudluliselwa kwe-COVID-19 kuze kube manje. Kuleli qophelo, kubonakala sengathi leli gciwane lisakazeka kakhulu phakathi kwabantu abaphakathi kwamamitha ayisithupha komunye nomunye, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control (CDC). Lapho umuntu onegciwane ekhwehlela noma ethimula, angakhipha amaconsi okuphefumula angagcina ekhaleni noma emlonyeni womunye umuntu. Abantu bangaphinda bathathe i-coronavirus ngemuva kokuthinta indawo engcolile, kepha lokho akubonakali kuyindlela eyinhloko igciwane elisakazeka ngayo, ngokwe-CDC.

Kuze kube manje, i-COVID-19 ayinjalo kubonakala ukuze zisakazwe ngocansi, nakuba kufanelekile ukuphawula ukuthi lokho akwenzeki ngaso sonke isikhathi ngamagciwane ngokuvamile, kusho uNicole Williams, M.D., i-ob-gyn ne-Gynecology Institute yaseChicago. “Kunamakhulu ezinhlobo zamagciwane,” uyachaza. "Yize kungaveli ukuthi i-coronavirus idluliswa ngocansi, umuntu angakhipha kalula amagciwane afana ne-herpesvirus ne-HIV ngesidoda sangasese nangoketshezi." Noma kunjalo, wena can ngobuchwepheshe bamba i-coronavirus ngenkathi wenza ucansi nomuntu onegciwane, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokusondela kwakho kubo ngesikhathi socansi, kuphawula uDkt Williams.

Eqinisweni, ephepheni lakamuva abacwaningi be-Harvard baveze ukuthi ngokuyisisekelo noma yikuphi ukuthintana nabo ngokocansi kwe-IRL kungakwenza ube sengozini ye-COVID-19. "AbakwaSARS-CoV-2 bakhona ezimeni zokuphefumula futhi basabalala ngezinhlayiya ezinamandla," kubhala abacwaningi. "Ingahlala izinzile ezindaweni ezingaphezulu izinsuku ...zonke izinhlobo zocansi lomuntu uqobo zingaba nengozi yokudluliswa kwe-SARS-CoV-2. "Uma ukhetha ukuthatha umzimba nomuntu ongamhlukanisi naye (umkhuba oyingozi kakhulu, ochwepheshe bathi), batusa ukuthi ugqoke imaski ngesikhathi socansi (yep), geza ngaphambi nangemva kocansi, bese uhlanza isikhala ngosula noma izesuli zotshwala.

Kusukela manje, kunocwaningo olulinganiselwe lokuthi ngabe i-COVID-19 ingatholwa yini isidoda noma uketshezi lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane. Kokunye ukuhlola okuncane kwamadoda angama-38 anezifo ze-COVID-19, abacwaningi baseChina bathole ukuthi abayisithupha kwabesilisa (cishe amaphesenti ayi-16) bakhombisa ubufakazi be-SARS-CoV-2 (igciwane elibangela i-COVID-19) esidunjini sabo — kufaka phakathi abane ababesesigabeni "esibucayi" sokutheleleka (lapho izimpawu zivezwa kakhulu) nababili ababelulama ku-COVID-19. Kodwa-ke, ukutholakala kwe-SARS-CoV-2 kumasampula wesidoda akusho ukuthi kungaziphindaphinda kuleyo ndawo, futhi akuqinisekisi ukuthi igciwane lingadluliselwa ngocansi ngesidoda, ngokusho kwemiphumela yocwaningo, eshicilelwe ku Inethiwekhi yeJAMA ivuliwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo oluncane olufanayo lwamadoda angama-34 ayeseluleme inyanga eyodwa ku-COVID-19 luthole lokho akekho amasampula isidoda zabo abonise ubufakazi igciwane. Uketshezi lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane kubukeka sengathi kungenzeka lungathintwa yi-SARS-CoV-2 futhi — kepha lolo cwaningo luyindlala kakhulu. Olunye ucwaningo lwabesifazane abayi-10 abane-pneumonia enzima edalwe yi-COVID-19 luveze ukuthi awukho umkhondo waleli gciwane oketshezini lwabo lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane. Ngakho-ke, ukusho okuncane, idatha ayicaci kangako.

Lokho kusho ukuthi, leli gciwane litholakale kumasampula ezimbungu, ngokusho komhlahlandlela waseNew York weSex kanye nowe-COVID-19 — okusho ucansi lwendunu amandla yenza ukudluliswa kwe-coronavirus kube lula kakhulu kunezinye izenzo zocansi. Unaleyo mininingwane engqondweni, ukuthatha koMnyango Wezempilo e-NYC ukuthi ukuqabula nokugedla (ucansi olusuka emlonyeni kuya endunu) kungaba yingozi ikakhulukazi mayelana nokudluliselwa kwe-COVID-19 ngoba lokho kungasho ukuthintana namathe noma indle yomunye umuntu. .

Idolobha licaciseleke kakhulu kunoma ngubani okungacaci ukuthi ubhadane lwe-coronavirus ludinga ini ngokusondelana. Okokuqala, umhlahlandlela uthi ukushaya indlwabu mancane amathuba okuthi kukhuthaze ukusabalala kwe-COVID-19—inqobo nje uma usebenzisa izindlela ezifanele zokugeza izandla—ngakho-ke ucansi uwedwa wuhambo nje. Ukuya ocansini nomuntu ohlala naye kuyindlela engcono kakhulu elandelayo, ngokusho komhlahlandlela woMnyango Wezempilo we-NYC. "Ukusondelana kakhulu - okubandakanya ucansi - nombuthano omncane wabantu kusiza ukuvikela ukubhebhetheka kwe-COVID-19," kufunda isitatimende esivela kulo mhlahlandlela. Ukukhipha i-hook up kungenye indaba. "Kufanele ugweme ukusondelana kakhulu - kufaka phakathi ucansi - nanoma ngubani ongekho ekhaya," kuqhuba lesi seluleko. "Uma ulala nabanye, yiba nabalingani abambalwa ngangokunokwenzeka."

Isixwayiso siwukuthi uma umlingani oyedwa noma bobabili bezizwa begula—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bahlala ndawonye noma cha—kungcono kakhulu ukugwema ubulili nokuqabulana ngokuphelele, kusho uDkt. Williams. "Noma yiziphi izenzo zocansi eziphephile zilungile njengamanje inqobo nje uma wena noma umlingani wakho ungenasizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi une-COVID-19," echaza. "Uma ngabe omunye wenu engenwe yigciwane noma enezimpawu zokugula nhlobo, musa ukuya ocansini emasontweni ambalwa ezayo." (Mhlawumbe lesi sidlidlizi esinokuthula okukhulu singaba umngane wakho omusha omkhulu ngenkathi unqamula umphakathi.)

I-Planned Parenthood iphinde yakhipha umhlahlandlela wokuzulazula ocansini phakathi kwe-COVID-19. Iveza ukuthi ngaphezu kokuqabulana noku rimming, ukufaka ipipi lomunye noma ithoyizi locansi emlonyeni ngemva kokuba selingenile endunu yomuntu kungasho ukucosha igciwane. Iphinde ithi ukusebenzisa amakhondomu noma amadamu amazinyo ngesikhathi socansi lomlomo nolwendunu kungasiza ekuvimbeleni ukuthintana namathe okungenzeka anegciwane kanye nendle. Umzali Ohleliwe ukugcizelele lokho manje hhayi isikhathi sokweqa ukuhlanza amathoyizi akho ocansi nokugeza izandla ngaphambi nangemuva kocansi. (Kulelo nothi, nansi indlela engcono yokuhlanza amathoyizi akho ocansi.)

Ngokujabulisayo, ochwepheshe kulo lonke ibhodi abaphakamisi ukuthi ucansi aluvunyelwe ngokuphelele. Manje njengoba usuthathe ngempumelelo isifundo sokuphahlazeka ku-COVID-19 sex ed, phuma futhi ukusebenzise ngokugcwele ukuzihlukanisa.

Imininingwane ekule ndaba inembile njengesikhathi sokushicilela. Njengoba izibuyekezo ezimayelana ne-coronavirus COVID-19 ziqhubeka nokuvela, kungenzeka ukuthi eminye imininingwane nezincomo kule ndaba zishintshile selokhu kwashicilelwa okokuqala. Sikukhuthaza ukuthi uhlole njalo izinsiza ezifana ne-CDC, i-WHO, kanye nomnyango wezempilo womphakathi wendawo ukuze uthole imininingwane yakamuva nezincomo.
