ask your wives doctor. But if you plan on becoming pregnant within the next 6 months than I would definitely avoid it.

If the CDC says proceed with caution that's got to be worth something. If they wanted you to avoid it then they would say so , hence some areas are a level 3- avoid unnecessary travel.

Ppl can make their own decisions, the problem that I find with many ppl ,( non DDFs ) is that they know nothing about it. Quite a few ppl had no idea that it can be transmitted.

It's also the next 9 months of having trouble falling asleep, wondering overall, plus asking yourself "I wonder if I got a mosquito bite last January?"

That's the part that's not worth it - not just the visit.

Why not get tested immediately upon returning?

Then you won't be sleeping for the next 9 months because you have Zika...

Not possible for most ppl - when I looked into that possibility I was told that only the dept of health does the testing and they will only do it for a pregnant woman or her spouse with symptoms

My point is the CDC are the ones we make our decisions off yet when they say to go we don't listen and still say not to go bec of "what if what if". I would imagine they took that into account before issuing their levels

Might have about 4 days total (including travel time) to travel from NYC between now and end of March. Anywhere good (read: warm) with no Zika risk that's affordable and doable in that time frame? HI is out because there's not enough time. I know about Miami/South FL, looking for something more exciting.

I also know about BDA, but the weather's not great and hotels are $$$.
