Daily Mail: Dengue fever may be transmitted by sex even after recovery from it
LONDON (Reuters) - Dengue fever, or dengue, a tropical disease caused by mosquito bites, can be transmitted through sex, according to a recent scientific study led by British researchers.
Scientists have found for the first time that the virus, which causes dengue fever in a man's fluid, is more than a month away from his illness while traveling in Thailand.
This bad news has led researchers to believe that fever can spread during sex even after a person has recovered.
Although adults with dengue usually have mild symptoms such as influenza, such as headaches, fever, muscle or joint pain, 1% to 2% have symptoms of severe, potentially fatal, fever, and there is currently no treatment for the virus.
The dengue virus is the most common among people who travel to the hottest climates, such as Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, and South and Central America.
The best way for travelers to protect themselves from the virus is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes by covering up with loose clothing and using mosquito repellent.
