Indian National in Quarantine in New Delhi Over Ebola

A 26-year old Indian national, who showed traces of the Ebola virus despite being cured of the disease in Liberia, has been kept in quarantine at an airport facility in New Delhi.

Indian authorities say the man returned on Nov. 10 after he was treated for the disease in Liberia and blood tests showed him free of the virus. However, authorities say his semen still showed traces of virus in tests conducted in India.

Doctors say Ebola virus can continue to remain in bodily fluids for variable periods even after they are cured, raising the risk of the virus being transmitted through sexual contact.

India, which has about 45,000 nationals working in West Africa, has been screening people arriving from the region.

Health experts have expressed fears that it would be difficult to contain the deadly disease if it spreads to India, which is a densely populated country with poor sanitation and hygiene in many places. In addition, many people do not have access to good health facilities.

WATCH: Gaga Sings National Anthem At Gay Pride Rally

Celebrating the Defense of Marriage Act's demise this week, Lady Gaga took to the stage at the Gay Pride Parade's Kick-Off Rally in New York City on Friday night to express her love and allegiance to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

"When I was in high school and grade school and younger, I was considered to be an outcast and I just couldn’t find my place," the long-time LGBT ally said with emotion, addressing the cheering crowd. "[But] there was a particular crowd who did accept me. There was a particular crowd who made room for me at their table, who held me up when I felt I couldn’t, who loved me for exactly who I was. It was you. And to stand here equal to you tonight, it's been a dream of mine since my very first experiences with the LGBT community..." (Watch her full speech at Livestream here.)

After delivering her moving speech during which she thanked the Supreme Court and all LGBT allies, Gaga -- who said the queer community has "saved" her and protected her through the years -- raised a Pride flag and began belting out the National Anthem, improvising slightly as she sang.

"Oh say does that star-spangled flag of pride yet wave," she crooned to the roaring delight of those gathered.

Watch her spectacular a cappella rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" in the video above.
