Male Ebola recovery victims should abstain from sex for 3 months or use condoms

19 November
India:
An Indian man who was infected with Ebola while in Liberia - and recovered prior to travel - has been quarantined after returning to Delhi. He has no symptoms and no Ebola virus was detected in his blood, but it was present in his semen samples. Health authorities quarantined him to prevent transmission through sexual contact. He will be released when there is no longer any virus in his body fluids. It is normal for men to have Ebola in their semen after recovering from Ebola. The US CDC advises male Ebola survivors to abstain from sex (or to use condoms) for three months after they recover. See more on the FAQ of this website.
