Revised MEA statement on retrovirus XMRV and ME/CFS

RETROVIRUS XMRV and ME/CFS:  WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?  AND WHAT DON’T WE KNOW? (VERSION 2)
This is a considerably extended and updated version of our first summary on XMRV research.  It includes additional information relating to questions that are coming to the MEA about the research findings, in particular questions concerning possible transmission and spread of XMRV, availability of private and NHS tests for the virus here in the UK, possible treatment of XMRV with antiviral drugs, and volunteering for UK research studies. We also report on a new research study from Germany that has queried the link between XMRV and prostate cancer.
