Alexander Davidson, MPH; Sally Slavinski, DVM; Kendra Komoto; et al.
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016;65(Early Release)
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recently reported a suspected female-to-male sexual transmission of Zika virus. A woman engaged in sex without a condom with a male partner the day she returned to NYC from travel to an area with ongoing Zika virus transmission. Her serum and urine later tested positive for Zika virus RNA. Seven days after intercourse with the woman, the male partner developed Zika-related symptoms. Zika virus RNA was detected in his urine but not serum. An extensive interview revealed the man had not traveled outside the United States during the year before his illness, had any other recent sexual partners, or been bitten by a mosquito.
