Hi, Im A Male And Just Got Diagnosed With Sigmoid

Hi, im a male and just got diagnosed with sigmoid diverticulitis 2 days ago (taking antibiotics). Im wondering if it is safe to have sex with my wife fearing that maybe bacteria from the infection could be passed on in the semen? Im probably being a bit too paranoid but my wife is pregnant and so i dont want to inflict any risk on the baby.
