Ebola Outbreak Male survivors shouldn’t have sex for 3 months –WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised male
survivors of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) to abstain from
sex for three months in order to prevent further
transmission through their semen.
The WHO stated this on Friday adding that semen could
remain infectious until long after a patient is cleared of the
disease.
“Men who have recovered from Ebola virus disease should be
aware that seminal fluid may be infectious for as long as three
months after onset of symptoms.”
“Because of the potential to transmit the virus sexually during
this time, they should maintain good personal hygiene after
masturbation, and either abstain from sex (including oral sex)
for three months after onset of symptoms, or use condoms if
abstinence is not possible,” the WHO said in a statement.
