Help prevent the spread of #Zika after your trip—even if you don’t feel sick! Take steps to prevent mosquito bites for 3 weeks after visiting a destination with Zika to make sure you don’t spread it to mosquitoes in your area. Because Zika can also be spread through sex, you should use condoms after travel, especially if your partner is pregnant. If your partner is pregnant, use condoms or don’t have sex for the rest of her pregnancy. If you feel sick after travel, talk to your doctor. Learn more at:
