ACA Rash Study- Sexual Transmission

QUOTE- "Clinical researchers have detected Lyme disease spirochetes in testicles [61], semen [41], vaginal secretions [41], and vulvovaginal tissue [62].

At birth, Bbsl has been detected in placental tissue [59,63] and cord blood [59]. These collective findings provide supportive evidence for Bbsl transfer during intimate relations, and transplacental transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes during gestation.

In addition, Bbsl spirochetes have been detected in breast milk [64,65]. The collective events relating to Case 4 provide substantive evidence of maternal-fetal transmission of Bbsl and supportive evidence of sexual transmission between two intimate partners."
