Having sex can keep the Ebola epidemic alive even after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a territory free of the disease, because the Ebola virus can live longer in sperm. It was said by one of the inventors of the Ebola virus on Tuesday (07/10/2014). In this regard, the WHO plans to declare this week that Nigeria and Senegal have been freed from Ebola positive after 42 days of no cases of infection. Limit of 42 days by the WHO were taken from the incubation period that can live up to 21 days. To be totally safe positive, drawn boundary two times longer than the lifetime of the virus. "In male patients convalescing, the virus can persist in semen for at least 70 days. One study even showed that the virus is still there for more than 90 days," wrote WHO in the notification letter, as quoted by Reuters on Thursday (9 / 10/2014). Professor Peter Piot of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical told a press conference in Geneva, if the rule is applied two times longer then it takes at least 180 days to a region virtually free of Ebola. "Of course his advice is for victims to use condoms and not having unprotected sex for 90 days," Piot said that the first discoverer of Ebola in 1976, the WHO says Ebola is spread through bodily fluids such as blood and saliva. But note also the virus present in breast milk (ASI), urine, and semen. WHO also said to sweat yet discovered the Ebola virus that lives out through that route.

In Turkey and Uruguay, Number of Smokers Down but High Tobacco Production

Assumption about the accession Framework on Tobacco Control (FCTC) will harm tobacco farmers often exhaled by industry players. Yet the reality is not like that. Abdillah Ahsan, Deputy Head of the Institute of Demography, University of Indonesia, said that the results of research done last year showed different results. Turkey and Uruguay for example, is able to reduce the prevalence of tobacco smokers, but production is still high. "The prevalence of smokers Turkey before the treaty was 34.6 percent down to 31.5 after the FCTC. While Uruguay fell 5.7 percent from 32.7 to 27 percent after the accession treaty," said Abdillah on meeting reporters at the Indonesian Doctors Association NT , Jl GSSY Sam Ratulangie, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Thursday (09/10/2014). Not only the prevalence is down. The number of smokers in both countries also declined. In Turkey, the number of smokers fell 2 percent after the accession treaty. While Uruguay fell more significantly, which is 16 percent. Abdillah confirms that these two did not have a direct impact on tobacco production in both countries. The growth of production in Uruguay even increased up to 131 percent! "In 2002 Uruguay's tobacco production is only 2,200 tons. Upon accession treaty in 10 years, the production of 4,247 tons, an increase of 131 percent. So it is not unreasonable that the accession treaty affect the farmers," he explained again. Abdillah explained that this research has been published in the journal Demography UI. The data presented in this study were taken from the data of international institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank. Surely, this proves that the public health service can be done by acceding to the FCTC. At the same time, the protection of tobacco farmers can also be done simultaneously. "So this is a complementary nature, can in unison. Substitution aka not influence each other," he added. "Accession FCTC first, lower prevalence and number of smokers first, and at the same time for proper regulation of tobacco farmers to increase productivity while reducing tobacco imports and increase exports," he concluded. latest health information can be found in http://ukdi.net
