The first sexually transmitted Zika infection was detected in the United States

Whether or not the Zika virus problem can be transmitted through sexual intercourse has been questioned since 2009 after a researcher in Colorada caught Zika abroad and spread it to his wife when he returned.

The Dallas Department of Health and Human Services (DCHHS) said doctors here found cases of Zika infection through sexual contact with a person who had just returned from the epidemic, specifically Venezuelan. If medical test results confirm this, then it will be the second sexually transmitted disease worldwide.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 31 people have contracted Zika over the past year but all have returned from South America. The likelihood of sexually transmitted viruses is already being studied. Mr. Zachary Thompson, director of DCHHS said: "Now, we can conclude that Zika is capable of sexually transmitted, need to raise the level of vigilance of people more in self-protection and protection. Other than limiting sex, condoms are the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. "

Zika virus has the ability to spread through sex.

The CDC deputy director, Anne Schuchat, said the agency's researchers said the case confirmed the argument that the Zika virus is capable of sexually transmitted. Earlier, Haitian health experts found the virus in the sperm of a man living here. Whether or not the Zika virus problem can be transmitted through sexual intercourse has been questioned since 2009 after a researcher in Colorada caught Zika abroad and spread it to his wife when he returned.

Specifically, in 2009, biologist Brian Foy of the University of Colorado (USA) had Zika when he came to Senegal to study mosquitoes. After returning home, Brian's wife also showed signs of Zika and, in addition to Brian Foy, recounting that he discovered that his wife had strange rashes after their relationship, many people had placed questions about how this spread.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the virus is spreading explosively in the Americas . So far, the world has discovered Zika in 35 countries and territories, Brazil is the most affected country. Two cases of Zika have just been discovered in Ireland, the patient is an elderly man and woman. Both of them were infected with the virus in the epidemic area and have now recovered.

Health officials advise pregnant women not to go to the Zika epidemic. Some directly affected countries such as El Salvador and Colombia even recommend that women should not become pregnant at this time and that the limited period may last until 2018.
