Woman gets Ebola after having unprotected sex

A woman in Liberia is feared to have caught Ebola after having unprotected sex with a survivor more than six months after he was cured.

The 44-year-old, from Monrovia, was diagnosed with Ebola on March 20, 14 days after having unprotected sex with a man, 46, who had previously tested negative for the lethal virus.

If the transmission is confirmed it will mean that the virus survived in his semen for 199 days, suggesting patients stay infectious for more than twice as long as previously thought.
