Is Zika Changing How You Travel?

[Mordyk]

The biggest problem with the zika virus is that there arent any conclusive research. They li lnked it to this birth defect yet they don't know for sure how long it stays in the body . Thats why they are saying dont get pregnant for some time if you or your spouse has had zika

[mgarfin]

FWIU I'd be surprised if any Rabbi prohibits it

Is there any other case where halacha allows a male to use protection?

[SearchGuy]

Maybe abortion comes before Zera Levatala, I can't see a Rav allowing a condom in any condition

[E R K]

Lehavdil, the Pope is giving permission to use contraceptives instead of abortion because he feels it's the lesser of 2 evils.

This year? How long would these effects stay for?

[Dan]

This year? How long would these effects have?

For a woman just a week or 2 at the most if she's not pregnant.
For a man it's not known exactly, but it can definitely live in your sperm and be sexually transmitted for many months as your body doesn't try to attack that area...

Zika is just getting started.
It will be in FL, HI, and TX soon and that's when all hell will break loose. Very scary stuff.

Which article did you read that scared you so bad??!!
Should I really be worried about traveling to Cancun? On the CDC website it seemed that for non-pregnant people it's fine, just try to use an insect-repellant.

"Men who have traveled to an area with Zika should use condoms to protect their sex partners. If the man’s partner is pregnant, the couple should either use condoms the right way every time or not have sex during the pregnancy."
