India has quarantined a man who was cured of Ebola in Liberia but continued to show traces of the virus in samples of his semen after arriving in the country, the Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry said in a statement that the Indian national had been shown to be negative for Ebola in tests conforming to World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, but had been quarantined as a precautionary measure when he arrived at New Delhi airport on November 10. Later, tests of his semen detected traces of the virus.
"It is a known fact that, during convalescence from Ebola Virus Disease, persons continue to shed virus in bodily fluids for variable periods," the ministry said. "However, presence of virus in his semen samples may have the possibility of transmitting the disease through sexual route up to 90 days from time of clinical cure."

Where were human rights lawyers when this poor innocent man was made to masturbate after entry?
India should be sanctioned for its abuses of ebola victims.
I find this article to be particularly interesting. Drastic measures are taken by even the poorest and the most corrupt of countries.
We could learn by India’s example.
Maybe he should just go bike riding and order a pizza.
As a microbiologist and veterinarian, I am interested in how they got the man to voluntarily submit the samples. I mean, the stress should be a real turnoff. Did they use an electro-ejaculator?
Hey bud, here’s some porn and a specimen bottle. Let us know when u are done.
I shudder to think.
Yeah... they got his what? How?
“Sometimes” it can be had by a prostate exam, depends on how much juice has built up. Still, we thought our TSA was bad....
