Even though Ebola is not a s*xually transmitted infection (STI), it has emerged that the virus can be contracted through s£x—and as such, condom is recommended for those who have been treated of the deadly disease.
It appears that the Ebola virus ca stay longer in the semen of men for as long as 70 days after the person has been treated (cleared of the disease)—and as such, protection is the only way avoid a possible infection.
Information from the World Health Organisation (WHO) says ‘in a convalescent male, the virus can persist in semen for at least 70 days; one study suggests persistence for more than 90 days,’ .
Also, according to Peter Piot, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and a discoverer of Ebola in 1976, ‘certainly, the advice has to be for survivors to use a condom, to not have unprotected sex, for 90 days.’
