This discovery brought renewed interest to the much-maligned disease and a flurry of research was conducted in order to confirm the link.
On August 23rd 2010, US government scientists validated the link, announcing they had found an association between a family of infectious murine leukaemia viruses and ME/CFS. They reported that 87% of those sampled carried at least one of the retroviruses, along with 7% (1 in 14) of the healthy controls.

XMRV is similar to HIV, the retrovirus that causes AIDS.
Following the validation study several countries banned ME/CFS patients from giving blood. In many cases these bans are for life.

Thank you so much for sharing this important information!
SvarSlettHi 1Lito,
SvarSlettThanks for the comprehensive list of up-to-date information on XMRV.
Well done!
Please find out, whether XMRV is causing CFS/ME, Autism, prostate cancer and other deseases. I think this Virus is well worth the research.
SvarSlettI want to see more government funding to this.
Thank you!:-) Atleast it seems like im slowly getting better... Have to stay away from geting exhosted....not so easy, when there is so much to do!:-) Yes, lets hope the virus alone not is causing theese illnesses. Sure it makes the immune system not funtion/slows down. By artisipate an ESME program for your own health geting better, you also are supporting this research econmicly:)
