Is there anything else I need to know about a Zika virus test?
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should take steps to reduce your risk of getting a Zika infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that pregnant women avoid traveling in areas that may put you at risk for Zika infection. If you can't avoid travel or if you live in one of these areas, you should:
Apply an insect repellent containing DEET on your skin and clothing. DEET is safe and effective for pregnant women.
Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants
Use screens on windows and doors
Sleep under a mosquito net
