No: NO. Ebola is an "equal opportunity" infection. Your immune system may make it harder to fight off the virus but you are NOT more"LIKELY" t get it. The fact is at present your chances of getting hit by an automobile is greater than you being infected by EBOLA! Hope this helps Dr Z

Ebola: the only people who have been diagnosed with Ebola in the US are two nurses and a doc that worked with a gentlemen who came to the U.S. There is no outbreak of Ebola in the Netherlands. You should be worried about the flu and make sure you get a flu shot. I don't know about your country but 52,000 people died last year in the US from the flu!

Transmission remains: the same but someone with a weak immune system may be more severely impacted by the actual illness.
