The World Health Organization is advising that Ebola survivors use a condom or abstain from sex until further notice, after the virus was found in a man?s semen six months after a negative blood test.

WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told AFP in an email that the man, with undisclosed identity, was declared Ebola-free in September via a negative blood test, but his semen sample tested positive for Ebola 175 days later.
