I was bitten by a mosquito in the galapagos last week. can i be tested for zika? would it matter if i am 60 and male?

Wait: You are not at risk. If you develop an itchy rash it would then be helpful to test for the viral RNA or IgM. If you are sexually active with a woman of child bearing age. You should be tested if you have any symptoms
