All three of the ebola survivors who have been dismissed from American hospitals (Dr. Sacra, Dr. Brantly, and Mrs. Writebol) had multiple blood tests that showed no viral presence before they were dismissed.

Hang on.

I think we have a problem.

We know that Ebola can be transmitted in semen up to 60 days after recovery.

Tested and found no viral presence? I don't know that this is true, but if true, I find it surprising.

This is informative:

It also addresses your mention of transmission through semen.

Two blood tests, two days apart, for Brantly and Writebol. The Nebraska hospital where Dr. Sacra was treated required three clear tests.

I am not concerned about the survivors, other than to wish them a full recovery. I am deeply concerned about worldwide travel still being allowed from the hot zone.
