Hi Everyone,
I don't want to stoke fear-fires--especially when we don't have the research to back it up--but De Meirleir is pretty sure an active XMRV infection can be passed on through sexual contact. He wants to test the partners of XMRV+ patients whom he is treating and treat them as well--if they have an active infection.
At least this is what I am getting from a Dutch forum. I am reading it with the dubious help of Google Chrome and its automatic translation function, so there is a lot of room for error.
Here is Chrome's translation:
"So this afternoon I was at the Meirleir.
I'm MLV-positive.
My friend was there and it is so: if you're positive, there is much chance that your partner is also positive, BUT, he expects that most partners simply antibodies will have (serology so), and so just healthy carriers . but if the partner is the active form, he must also be treated differently because he can always re-infect you and has no sense to treat yourself, because you just re-active can be infected by your partner."
Here is a link for those who want to read the discussion: http://www.mecvs.net/index.php?name...pic&t=3702&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=105
