People who have traveled to an area with Zika transmission should carefully use insect repellent and try to avoid mosquito bites for the first 3 weeks. Those with symptoms who have risk factors for the illness (such as travel or travel of a sexual partner to an area where Zika is locally transmitted) should contact their health care provider for guidance.

Couples with a partner who lives in or has traveled to an area with Zika should take steps to protect during sex (http://www.cdc.gov/zika/prevention/protect-yourself-during-sex.html).

are pregnant (or are planning a pregnancy) and their sexual partners. Women who are pregnant or who

may be considering getting pregnant should talk to their doctor about the risks of Zika virus and how to

best avoid it.
