Male Ebola Survivors "Should Use Condoms Indefinitely"

[Chef Ramsay]

...

But studies conducted during previous outbreaks have found that the Ebola virus can be found in semen up to 82 days after a patient's initial symptoms. Scientists don't know if the man's semen contains live Ebola viruses, although they plan to conduct such tests, the CDC report says.


Tests of the man's semen did find genetic material from the Ebola virus, called RNA. The tests were performed 199 days — or about 6½ months — after he first developed symptoms, suggesting that the genetic material can remain in semen much longer than previously known. Earlier studies have found genetic material from Ebola up to 101 days after the beginning of symptoms, the CDC says.


The CDC notes only one previous case of a possible sexual transmission of Ebola, although the new report describes the evidence as "inconclusive." Researchers also documented a possible case in which someone contracted the Marburg virus — which is similar to Ebola — in 1968.


The CDC has long warned Ebola survivors to either abstain from sex for three months or to use condoms during that time. Now, the CDC advises people to avoid contact with semen from male survivors.

Men who survive Ebola should use condoms if they have sex and take care when disposing of the condoms.

In South Africa, they rape infant babies hoping that it will cure them of HIV. These affected countries are in the same continent. I don't think that these people will heed to the warnings.

i wonder if i'm crazy to think that some of these diseases are just experiments gone bad, or intentional manipulations set loose.

I'm not too deep into virology, nor would i even qualify as a basic biologist, but some of these things stink of bio-warfare

H1N1 , HIV, Ebola, H7N9 and other variants

Population who do this kind of practice do not deserve to exists.

That’s frightening, kind of like how they found out within the last couple years that Lyme disease can be transmitted sexually.

On another note, I’m creeped out by the fact that the ebola virus looks like a Mickey Mouse head.

That was something I didn't know
Diseases remain in the Semen like an STD, and can change genetic code these viruses are quite impressive.
That said Ebola through sexual transmission months after the event that is concerning.

In modern countries (Canada and US included) they sexually assault infant males to reduce their urge to masturbate.  Each culture has their own beliefs.
