Let’s talk about Ebola. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Ebola is a viral infection that can lead to organ failure, cause severe bleeding, and death. It is localized to Africa and there haven’t been any cases in the US since 2014. However, Ohio-based Clinical Research Management and the ELWA Hospital in Liberia have found that the virus can be passed through sperm. Not just passed through people who are currently showing symptoms, but can be transmitted through sperm up to TWO years after infection. It’s important to always use protection, especially when out of the country. Also, be sure to report any abnormal symptoms to your doctor after traveling outside of the US. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine. Learn why patients from around the globe trust Executive Medicine of Texas to their health. Visit EMTexas.com that’s EMTexas.com.
