Análisis de la posible transmisión sexual del SARS-CoV-2

Resumen

Introduction: the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the etiological agent of the COVID-19
pandemic, which interacts with cells via the SPIKE protein on the surface
of the viral envelope with the ECA-2 receptors, hence the presumption of
sexual transmission. Materials and methods: an exploratory, descriptive,
documentary research was performed by means of a systematic search of
studies and publications in the Pubmed, SCIELO and HINARI databases;
additionally, the search was expanded to the researchgate repository, with the
aim of identifying the possible sexual transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Results:
according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, 10 publications
exploring sexual transmission of SARS-CoV-2 were included. Conclusions:
despite positive results for virus detection in vaginal or seminal fluid obtained
in the studies,
