Ebola Spreads via sex?


A female partner of an Ebola survivor died recently in what appears to be a case of infection through sexual contact. What has surprised health experts is that it seems to show that the virus remains alive and transmittable at least 5 months after recovery.
Ebola genetic material was found in a sample of semen which the man provided 175 days after he developed Ebola symptoms, which makes it 74 days longer than ever before found in a survivor. The incident involved the death of a 44-year-old Liberian woman who was the sexual partner of a man who suffered Ebola symptoms last September, but survived. The woman became sick in March this year and died just one week after having sex with him. Contact with semen from a male survivor should be avoided. If male survivors have sex (oral, vaginal, or anal), a condom should be used correctly and consistently every time" this is according to officials.
