I wonder how that works. Since the virus can still be found in semen for several months, might it still be found in the bloodstream as well? That blood would have to be handled very carefully. She was lucky that their blood types were compatible.

Also, I wonder since she says she is doing well (whatever that means when you have ebola), is she capable of doing some things for herself — like ordinary monitoring of temp, blood pressure, give herself meds, start an IV, etc.) that would help to limit the exposure to other health care providers?

“Since the virus can still be found in semen for several months...”

I’m thinking the blood is in constant circulation and the virus is killed as it passes through the body. The semen might be infected when it is first created, and then is held in some type of reservoir? I’m just taking a guess there.
