No.
Lupus is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is an autoimmune disease and not transmitted to anyone by any contact.
Not at all.
No
Hello!

Thanks so much for this question. No, you cannot get Lupus from sexual contact.

Thanks so much!

There is no good evidence that Lupus is contagious. It is probably not possible "to give Lupus" through any kind of contact, even sexual.
Good evening,

No it is not. Lupus is an autoimmune disease and is not an infection of any kind; it is not transmitted through sexual contact.
