In theory, CJD can be transmitted from an affected person to others, but only through an injection or consuming infected brain or nervous tissue. There’s no evidence that sporadic CJD is spread through ordinary day-to-day contact with those affected or by airborne droplets, blood or sexual contact.
Has anyone survived CJD?
A Belfast man who suffered variant CJD – the human form of mad cow disease – has died, 10 years after he first became ill. Jonathan Simms confounded doctors by becoming one of the world’s longest survivors of the brain disease. Jonathan, a talented footballer, first became unwell in May 2001.
How is CJD acquired?
In acquired CJD, the disease is transmitted by exposure to brain or nervous system tissue, usually through certain medical procedures. There is no evidence that CJD is contagious through casual contact with someone who has CJD.
