If not absolutely necessary, it is wise to avoid travel to countries with the presence of Zika&#8230; especially if you are a pregnant woman, or a couple planning on having children soon. Zika can be contracted by being bitten by an infected mosquito and there have been many cases of Zika transmission via sex and other human-to-human contact.<\/p>\n<p>If you have traveled to countries with highly reported incidents of Zika, it is extremely important to get blood tests to confirm whether or not you have contracted the virus.
