It is thought to be. It has been found in both vaginal secretions and seminal fluid.

I don't know if it's been scientifically proven yet...but I'm not taking the chance...protection is a must in my home.

Here in this forum many members are quite sure it is, from their own personal experience.

Also in the womb and through breast milk. But again, anecdotal and not completely admitted by the scientific/medical community.

I think it's possible, but unlikely unless your partner has a severely compromised immune system. My old lady is fine after years of contact.

May not want to take it if you have chronic lyme...can cause a type of autoimmune issue.
