(Reuters) - Sex could keep the Ebola epidemic alive even after the World Health Organization (WHO) declares an area free of the disease, one of the discoverers of the deadly virus said on Tuesday.
The WHO is hoping to announce later this week that Nigeria and Senegal are free of Ebola after 42 days with no infections -- the standard period for declaring an outbreak over, twice the maximum 21-day incubation period of the virus.
However, it appears the disease can last much longer in semen.
"In a convalescent male, the virus can persist in semen for at least 70 days; one study suggests persistence for more than 90 days," the WHO said in an information note on Monday.

Send Sandra Fluke to Liberia to dispense Govt Issue condoms...
Fixed it for you.
Fixed it for you.
If the Ebola male uses a condom it will keep the participant from getting AIDS.
Then wherever you ‘purge’ will be a BHL4 contaminated zone.
Will you wash those towels with the rest of the laundry? Will you scrub the ‘member’ with bleach to make sure any bodily fluid there gets decond? What about the tub or shower. And shower curtain.
etc.
It’s a nightmare scenario.
Not to mention that guys can do that inadvertently while they’re asleep.
Could we manage to hang all the politicians and bureaucrats before we all die of the plague?
Exactly ;)
You ain’t a man in ‘Frica unless you got at least 3 wives.
Actually, he was in the vehicle with a pregnant woman who was dying of ebola, taking her to the hospital.
He left the country to come to America right after she died.
So he knew he’d been exposed, and chose to come here where he had family/social ties.
You knew Obama Sr?
That’s the official story.
The real story may not have been told.
Or that “Gaitan” Part II has a LAYover in Monrovia
What is a condom going to do if he kisses her, how stupid...body fluids are body fluids. It might keep him from getting AIDS, but if he gets E bola again it isn’t going to matter in the long run...
Of course if he has other partners....OMG, it’s a wonder half the world’s population isn’t already infected.
Planned Parenthood and homosexual activist groups are fighting the laws that require a person with AIDS to disclose this status to potential sex partners.
Ebola will fall in line with politically protected AIDS.
This society is doomed by liberalism.
Yet now the gub'mint wants mandatory screening for diabetes for those 45 and above. You can't catch diabetes from someone else (no matter how sweet they are).
Hmmmm I could tell some stories from Africa that would make you hurl.
Suffice to say - a large percentage of men in Africa have no sexual restraint of any kind.
What is it with people on this thread and racial slurs? Did I enter a Klan meeting by mistake?
. I also remember them saying that in 20 years, we'll be able to get rid of many "problems" via genetics....one of them being diabetes...
