Do you trust health care providers who have worked with ebola to self monitor?

Background The epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa in 2014 has increased the risk of Ebola virus transmission via donated blood and blood components, cells, tissues and organs (substances of human origin - SoHO). There are no specific EU regulations or recommendations for the safety of SoHO donated by patients who have recovered from EVD; people exposed to Ebola virus; or people who have visited or reside in EVD-affected areas. Ebola virus transmissions through donated blood, tissues or organs have not been described. Asymptomatic replicative infections with Ebola virus have been described [1,2]. Travellers from Ebola-affected countries* are deferred for donation because malaria-risk countries overlap with the current Ebola-risk countries in Africa [3]. However, there is a need for specific guidelines to maintain the safety of SoHO donation by people who have been exposed to Ebola virus. There is a possibility that the current outbreaks in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo will spread to areas where there is no malaria risk. Risk assessment The risk of Ebola virus transmission through SoHO is related to the presence of Ebola virus in the donor’s blood, tissues and organs. The presence and concentration of virus in organs, tissues, blood and other bodily fluids changes during the course of the infection. The virus concentration peaks when the patient is most sick, and viruses can be detected and isolated from breast milk and semen weeks after recovery [4]. There are limited data available on when patients become viraemic and infectious during the incubation period. The assumption is that the rate of virus replication and excretion into bodily fluids is not high enough in the pre-symptomatic phase to result in person-to-person transmission through day-to-day contacts in the community. However, there are no data on when viraemia starts during the incubation period. During the symptomatic phase of EVD, the virus is present in high concentrations in all bodily fluids, tissues and organs [5]. When the disease is fatal, the dead body remains highly contagious. After recovery from the acute phase, a patient may continue to excrete live and infective viruses for long periods [4]




It talks about donated Blood but there is no 100% assertion that a person during incubation is not contagious .
His blood very well could be so to say that it's impossible to spread it during just the incubation period is wrong
