A member asked:

How long does zika last in a persons system? i.e., how long should a person (m/f) who tested positive for zika wait before attempting to procreate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

8 weeks: Only 20% of infected people have symptoms, usually mild fever + aches + rash lasting less than a week. It might be transmitted sexually and was once found transmitted from male to female 6 weeks after infection. CDC recommends avoiding conception for 8 weeks.
