Following recent news that Zika virus can lurk in semen for months, a pair of infectious-disease researchers got to wondering: how many other viruses can hang out down there?
With the intriguing question dangling, the ballsy researchers decided to do a study to figure it out—because, you know, why not?

Unless these are space testicles, I think you may have linked the wrong article.

That article is sure to stimulate lots of interest. I just hope people aren't too hard on the methods the scientists used.

Everyone talks about the blood-brain barrier, but no one wants to examine the blood–testis barrier. Same as it ever was.
It's an interesting article, mainly because of those public health impacts. Influenza? From my testicles? It's more likely than you think.

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Exactly, no one plans on coming close...

Re: [Ralph-Wiggum / Smoove] Viruses are ballsy
Interesting. I can't tell if they're using 'semen' medically or more generally. I wonder what part of the system the viruses are actually hanging out in. Are they in the prostate? The vesicles? Or is it actually in the testes?
As the proud owner of a vasectomy, I'm hoping the latter.
