New pathogen in a nutshell

In this section, you will find a complete description of the pathogen.  

1. The Alarm

Since the 2010s, disturbing testimonies on (STD) specialized forums (medhelp, forum.sida-info-service.org, reddit, discord and other) from around the world have reported human-to-human contamination of an unidentified contagious infectious agent through a very specific way of transmission: close contact (saliva), unprotected non penetrative (oral/masturbation) sex. These people are left alone by the medical community as their disease is not yet known, no tests are available and therefor people reported various treatment attempts using antibiotics and antiviral without a relief of symptoms yet.

Within less than 6 months, we collected more than 7.000 unique visitors on this website. This proves how dramatic the situation is around the world as our website is very difficult to find on the internet (not indexed by Google yet). Moreover, we receive around 2 to 3 new testimonies of people having contracted this pathogen everyday…This is clearly only the tip of the iceberg.

2. Modes of transmission: body fluids

The large majority of people have reported that they got infected via sexual intercourse (mainly via non protected oral sex). A minority of people have reported that transmission of the pathogen could also occur through close contacts (saliva or sweat). 

Patient claim to remain contagious all their live long after being infected.

3. Incubation period

 It usually takes 4 to 8 days before symptoms start.

4. Symptoms

We ran a survey for a subgroup of 74 people in order to describe symptoms development.

The disease occurs in 2 phases: a primary infection with acute (Flu/HIV-like) symptoms from 1 up to 4 weeks after the contamination day. Then, the chronic disease phase starts affecting the health badly and quality of life. Over time the body is severely aging.

Short-term (from a few weeks up to 1 month)

  • Extreme Fatigue (82%)
  • Sore throat (66%)
  • Skin rash (50%)
  • Night sweats (49%)
  • Low fever (43%)

Chronic phase 

  • Fatigue (82%)
  • Muscle pains (72%)
  • GI upset (68%)
  • White tongue (66%)
  • Joints pains (62%)
  • Blurred vision (61%)
  • Brain fog (57%)
  • Swollen lymph nodes (55%)
  • Headache (53%)
  • Skin rash (50%)
  • Fat loss (wasting) (47%)
    • Starting at places furthest from the heart : hands and feet
    • Then moves up to the legs and arms
    • For long term sufferers (5+ years), the displaced fat results in excess “visceral” fat
  • Oral ulcers (45%)
  • Chest pain (36%)
  • Spinal cord pain or stiff neck (11%)

5. Laboratory findings

A common factor to all people infected by this unknown pathogen is that the blood tests/other samples do not show severe abnormalities. Moreover, all STD’s and conventional serological tests are negative (HIV, HTLV, HBV, all bacteria testing). However, some interesting facts are to be reported: 

  • Elevated WBC during the primo-infection
  • Latent virus reactivation during the chronic phase
  • Alteration of the blood-brain-barrier in the lumbar puncture
