A member asked:
I was just diagnosed with acute cmv. how do i prevent others from contracting it, especially my husband? could i have contracted it from a blood tran?

Yes: If you just had a blood transfusion and developed acute CMV shortly afterwards, that is the most likely cause. CMV is transmitted in various ways, and it's often hard to figure out how it was transmitted. I would refrain from sex and sharing body fluids until you have recovered.
