I Have Recently Come To Belize For My Work. Me
Question: I have recently come to Belize for my work. Me and my current girlfriend have been actively talking about having a child together for months now and are worried about the possibility of Zika and when the best time would be to try and conceive. Girlfriend is in the U.S
Brief Answer:
Probably nothing to be worried, you can do some examinations for confirm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your concern.
In my opinion you can fear the Zika virus only if you have been bitten by a mosquito or if you have symptoms.
Some of the possible symptoms can be rash, joint and muscle pain or headache.
In this case you should do a blood test and a urine test before trying to conceive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
