Zika can be sexually transmitted from women to men, CDC reports

The first documented case of the Zika virus being sexually transmitted from a woman to a man has been reported in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Given that Zika has already been confirmed to be sexually transmittable (although sexual transmission of the virus is rare), the news is not that surprising. The CDC suggests Zika can also be sexually transmitted from woman to woman, although no cases have been confirmed.
