Lupus is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is an autoimmune disease and not transmitted to anyone by any contact.

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.
