It is proposed that multiple sclerosis may be transmitted chiefly by sexual contact. Arguments favoring this include: migration studies that suggest a transmissible agent in adolescence; clusters of multiple sclerosis which have occurred in low prevalence areas following entry of young males; the similarity of multiple sclerosis to tropical spastic paraplegia, a known sexually transmitted infection with resemblance to primary progressive multiple sclerosis; an increased rate in drug misusers; a similar age of onset and sex pattern to that found in sexually transmitted disease; increased incidence of multiple sclerosis in those using oral contraceptives; low multiple sclerosis rates in societies with a strict moral code; longitudinal shifts in sex prevalence that show an increase in women after the sexual revolution of the 1960s; and important exceptions to the worldwide distribution corresponding to countries with permissive attitudes to sex. Family, conjugal pair, twin, and adoption studies are compatible with an infectious cause of multiple sclerosis if this is sexually transmitted. It is not proposed that sexual transmission is the only cause but that inherited factors create a susceptibility to a sexually transmitted neurotropic agent. It is hoped this hypothesis might encourage a new direction of neurological research.
Multiple Sclerosis is contagious, however, not very, and no one knows the mechanism. You can share the house with someone that has it and not get it.
no.
I would definitely say its not contagious i personally have ms and nobody else in my family or even friends have it and i have never passed it to them
No. Its not known what causes MS. We don't know what starts it up or how to tell who will develop it. But we do know that it is not contagious. Its believed that MS has and environmental component as well as a genetic component. There still is no cure for MS but great strides have been made in treating it and making life bearable for those of us living with it. Having MS does not mean what it used to.
While we still don't know exactly what causes MS, we do know that it is not contagious. You need to have a predisposition to getting it, along with some other environmental factors and an as-of-yet unidentified infectious trigger. Therefore, no, you cannot get MS in an accident.
This is not a contagious disease.The virus is contagious.
