Zika testing: Zika testing is now available for at risk individuals such as yourself. through your OB MD's office or State Health department. Also, if you are continuing sexual intercourse during this pregnancy, consider a condom for your partner, even if he hasn't traveled to known risk areas recently. The Zika virus has already had documented cases in Texas.
