In China, doctors at the Peking University of Cancer Treatment shocked Chinese residents by announcing the collection of virgin blood.
According to The Huffington Post, in particular, doctors are interested in the blood of girls between the ages of 18 and 24 who have never had sex. This provoked a reaction from Chinese Internet users, who suspected the scientists of performing "occult rituals."
“Virgin men don't interest them. Only girls. What kind of science is this? Occult? - posted by one of the twitter users. Along with this, the clinic explained that they collect blood not for bizarre rituals of devil worship or something like that.
The blood of virgins is needed for the study of sexually transmitted diseases. “We are studying the papilloma virus, which is sexually transmitted. We need virgin blood as a negative substance to control when quantifying the virus.
This is practiced all over the world,”said the representative of Guan Xuyinping University. He also added that women who have never had sex are most likely not infected with the papilloma virus. Therefore, it is their blood that doctors collect. So far, only 50 virgins have agreed to donate blood for medical research.
