Is lupus contagious through sexual contact? Early signs of lupus

Following the revelation by Nollywood actress, Kemi Afolabi that she has less than five years to live while suffering from an incurable disease called lupu, fears have gripped many who are asking: is lupus contagious?

Lupus is a chronic (long-term) disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of your body. It’s an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system — the body system that usually fights infections — attacks healthy tissue instead.

The news has sent fears into the hearts of many who have been asking if lupus is contagious?

However, Information obtained by IDOMA VOICE from Lupus foundation of America’s websites said Lupus is not contagious, not even through sexual contact.

According to the report,

Lupus is not contagious, not even through sexual contact. You cannot “catch” lupus from someone or “give” lupus to someone.

Lupus develops in response to a combination of factors both inside and outside the body, including hormones, genetics, and environment.

If you suspect your symptoms might be related to lupus, take the Could It Be Lupus Questionnaire.
