Thanks for the info however a few observations:
- It's interesting that this seems to have only been picked up by Indian news lol who's dedicated a whole 1/2 page to a short article which doesn't link to the study or any of the researchers responsible for the study.......or anything else for that matter.
- While I'm not advocating for CIM/Swallow/BBBJ - I would like to know how this article should change ones views about these practices/services and their risk level? There always was virus present in semen and this has always determined the risk factor related with the above activities. So I'm not sure how this article changes that..?
The only new thing the article reports is that a study seems to indicate that:
- In some men, the virus found in semen is identical to the one found in their blood, which they believe indicates the virus found in the blood seems to be imported to the genital tract/semen.
- And in other men, the virus found in their semen seems to be different than the one found in their blood - apparently due to the virus replicating locally in the genital tract.
What does that have to do with CIM, BBBJ, swallow?
And how do these findings affect our understanding of the risks up until now?
IMO, Virus is virus... who cares if it's the same or different in blood or semen?

It's not like ones more or less desireable than the other! I guess I'm wondering what your point is.
Plus, just some friendly advice here, but next time... if you're going to pretend to genuinely care about our welfare and health... you might want to address us using a less derogatory word. Otherwise, no point even trying to pretend. Just sayin'.
