Zika virus is confirmed as sexually transmitted in the US.



The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that Zika virus is sexually transmitted as a case has been discovered in Dallas Texas. The virus is transmitted via sex, not a mosquito bite, when a patient was examined in Texas.

Zika is carried by mosquitoes and has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains. It is spreading through the Americas and the World Health Organization has declared the virus a global public health emergency.
