I think a responsible man would just avoid sex for half a year after recovery.
Aids 2 on the way....
Good luck with that....
Maybe that's what is going on here?
God forbid any west African men should consider refraining from sex......
Yeh...you tell me you had ebola and I’m gonna have sex with you?? Sure....
I’m pretty sure that the only sure prevention is abstinence, but silly me, even thinking it is likely racist.
“In a convalescent male, the virus can persist in semen for at least 70 days; one study suggests persistence for more than 90 days,”
Well, at least we can count on monogamy.
EbolAIDS
A condom is only 80% effective.
Hmmmm. I had doubts about the accuracy of this story, so I looked this up...
“Any sperm not ejaculated in about 60-75 days, or somewhere in that time frame will be reabsorbed by the body.”

But this being the case - if a cured Ebola patient has Ebola tainted sperm in his system, then guess what?
He aint cured.
But the CDC swears it cannot so spread,
and there is no latency,
and there are no other carriers,
... and who cares anyway.
Any man In Africa should be using a condom every time they have sex.
And the people we have “cured” in the US so far are where doing what right now?
If used properly it will reduce transmission of ebola but condoms are not even an especially effective means of preventing pregnancy, which is the purpose for which they were originally designed, so it’s not going to prevent the spread of ebola, just reduce it. The best policy is abstinence. Abstinence works so long as the individual in question actually does remain abstinent.
Here we go....more snarky TV ads from the makers of Trojans.
val gell has said obola is more intelligent than any of his advisors. This includes the cdc director. What should be done is that obola go to the most infested ebola part of Africa and assess the situation and report back to the American People to ease our fears. obola could take reggie, mooch and their children to help him. obola should stay till this situation is brought under control. Heck, the American People are willing to sacrifice and allow all of the lame-stream media to go with obola, mooch, reggie and their children. The entire trip should take about one year to obtain all the facts. No price is too great to bring about calm and all the facts on the table for the cure.
Yeah, like you’d bet your life on the unbreakability of a 0.02 mm thick membrane of latex.
So men who have ‘recovered’ and are not symptomtic can spread the virus, but people who have the virus and are yet not symptomtic can’t.
Do I have this right?
