Florida confirms first sexually transmitted Zika case in 2017

MIAMI -- Florida health officials have reported the state's first sexually transmitted Zika case in 2017. "It is important to remember Zika can also be transmitted sexually and to take precautions if you or your partner traveled to an area where Zika is active. The infected resident's partner recently traveled to Cuba and was ill with symptoms consistent with Zika, health officials said in a statement. Last week, Texas health officials reported a Zika infection likely contracted through a mosquito bite in recent months. The news release said health officials have notified mosquito control and that appropriate "mosquito reduction activities" were taking place.
