One of the lucky ones, a young ebola survivor returns to his village in Southern Guinea, bearing a certificate of recovery after receiving treatment from Doctors Without Borders in this TV2Africa video.

The survivor — his odds of outliving his infection were one in 10, according to medical data — is applauded by his villagers, but the body language is obvious. No one wants to get too close.

Only his mother stands with him to be photographed.

“He has recovered well. This test shows he is in the clear. We’ve just given him the good news,” said Dr. Marc Forget with Doctors Without Borders.

People in the regions hit hardest by the current ebola outbreak seem unwilling to admit there is a problem, says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with the National Institutes of Health.

There are perceptions that it’s the health workers who are bringing ebola in and there have been some backlashes against Doctors Without Borders, who are trying their best to contain the disease, Fauci says.

Unlike previous outbreaks in very remote, underpopulated areas in Central africa, the West African outbreak is happening in clusters with dense populations. Those infected with the virus are spreading it before they even know its ebola, Fauci said.

Fatima Diawara, a health promoter with at a Médecins Sans Frontières center, said she hopes the young survivor will help spread the word about the disease when he returns home to his village.

“We want to show him the center so when he gets home he can be a witness for us and help us with outreach,” she said in the video.

Fifty new cases of ebola and 25 deaths have been reported in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea since July 3, Reuters reports. The deadly virus is spreading within families, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

Latest figures from health ministries in the three countries showed a total of 844 cases including 518 deaths since the epidemic began in February, the U.N. said in a statement.

A sample from a suspected case in Ghana has tested negative, according to Ghana’s Ministry of Health. Earlier Tuesday there were reports of an Ebola case in a private clinic in Accra.
