Ebola, unlike Covid-19 will have an effect on the sexual lives of survivors.
According to Health Minister Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, the survivors of Ebola virus disease should avoid sex for atleast one year after being discharged for safety of their bodies and their partners.
It should be noted that experts recommend only six months without having sex, however Dr Aceng recommends a full year for total healing.
"Men should avoid sex with their wives because they may abandon the use of condoms yet the Ebola virus takes long to completely heal from the mens genitals" she said!
Dr Acheng made the remarks during the the witnessing of the discharge of 2 Ebola patients from Mubende regional referral hospital. The duo were treated and finally tested negative for Ebola!
