Article Synopsis
- Ebola virus RNA was detected in the semen of 27% of male survivors of Ebola virus disease in Sierra Leone, with varying detection rates depending on the time since discharge from treatment.
- The study surveyed 220 male survivors with semen samples tested using RT-PCR methods, revealing a higher prevalence of viral RNA shortly after discharge and a significant decline over time.
- The findings highlight the need for further research into the potential risks of sexual transmission of Ebola, as the study did not directly assess this aspect.
