I have also heard this rumour many times from other people. It's good to finally read that it is only a rumour, and not a fact!
Where are the doctors / pathologists?
Does the use of prophylaxis not mask the parasite and make it more difficult to detect through blood tests?
How did this rumour start, or is it truth?
