Washington Examiner – by Robert King

The deadly Ebola virus may be transmitted through sex long after a person has been cured, a major finding that could change how the virus is combated.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigators looked into the case of a Monrovia, Liberia, woman who contracted the disease. The agency identified only one link to Ebola: unprotected sex with an Ebola survivor who was not presenting symptoms.  

Ebola can only be passed through contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person showing symptoms. But health officials have been aware of another problem: The virus can remain in semen for nearly half a year after symptoms emerge, even after the patient has fully recovered. A survivor could still potentially infect a sexual partner with the virus, which appears to have happened in Monrovia in March, when the woman in question had sexual relations with a man who had been discharged the previous October.

A separate instance of “possible sexual transmission of Ebola has been reported, although the accompanying evidence was inconclusive,” the CDC said in a report Friday.

The agency recommends that “contact with semen from male Ebola survivors be avoided until more information regarding the duration and infectiousness of viral shedding in body fluids is known. If male survivors have sex (oral, vaginal or anal), a condom should be used correctly and consistently every time.”

The virus has killed more than 10,000 people primarily in West Africa since the 2014 outbreak occurred.

  1. LOL WOW
    what is wrong with this sentence?
    “The deadly Ebola virus may be transmitted through sex long after a person has been cured,”

    Who writes this crap? a retarded 8year old??? Lay of the glutamate and aspartame. Its oozing out your thought hole.

    Funny thing is, every time I have been ‘cured’, I ceased having the disease.

    ‘hey baby, i was just cured of ebola. wanna bump uglies?’
    what a pick up line. lol

  2. Considering that most, if not all, of the people in West Africa that died, claimed to be caused by ebola, were fatally poisoned by formaldehyde contamination of their water sources, let’s make the lamestream media claim just a bit more factual and consider how stupid it is:

    “Woman may have gotten formaldehyde poisoning after sex with a survivor.”

    Lamestream idiots.

  3. “Ebola can only be passed through contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person showing symptoms.”

    Really?
    Do you believe that this spook & kook developed contagion can ONLY be transmitted that way? Or that it HAS only been transmitted that way? Remember the chemtrails, Sonny-Jim.

    ….. The agency recommends that “contact with semen from male Ebola survivors be avoided until more information regarding the duration and infectiousness of viral shedding in body fluids is known. If male survivors have sex (oral, vaginal or anal), a condom should be used correctly and consistently every time.”…..

    Really? ….
    Aside from the obvious statement that contact with semen should be avoided (I always avoid contact with semen)…
    How many of you would think it appropriate to use a 90% effective means of birth control as a method to avoid transmission of a deadly contagious virus? How about not having sexual relations with anyone you’re not married to? Wouldn’t that solve 99% of the problem?

    Do not trust what you are told…. Think and reason for yourselves, and realize that EVERYTHING they have ever told you is a lie.

    1. #1 – How can you get Ebola long after a person is cured?’
      #2 – Shades of Herpes? Not really cured, but the gift that keeps on giving.
      . . .

  4. This one stretches the limits of credulity to previously unattained heights.

    Bound to cause a glitch in the matrix sooner or later.

  5. JD, they must have listened to yesterdays show. It’s back…..hopefully the nice lady on the conference room stays Ebola free! Oh and measles free…LOL.
