Surely one can get Ebola if they are crazy
enough to have sex with an infected person.
But can you get it from a man who survived
Ebola?
Ebola is one of the deadliest plagues of our
times. Just a short while ago the whole
world went crazy over its outbreak. Recently
Liberia got it again, but now doctors say it is
under control. Still, they have discovered a
new possible way for Ebola to spread
breaking all borders!
How Ebola is transmitted?

Well, you can get it only through a direct
contact with body tissues or liquids of the
infected person and by eating fruit bitten by
bats or other animals. Once a person
survives Ebola, it takes some weeks for the
blood, saliva, urine and other liquids to
dispose of all the traits of the virus.
However, scientists have discovered that
even 3-4 months later male sperm cells still
contain it! This means if Ebola surviving man
has sex with a woman, his semen can infect
her! The blood tests might be clean, but the
sperm is not!
This way Ebola survivors turn into hidden
containers of the virus. Any type of sex be it
vaginal, oral or anal puts a woman at risk.
Surely, using condoms makes such
intercourse safer. The only way to avoid the
next huge outbreak of the disease is
boosting people’s awareness about it. Now
you know it, share it with your friends!
