      What is Zika?

      Zika is usually a mild illness (fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes) that lasts about a week. Many people have no symptoms. BUT Zika can cause birth defects. In rare cases, it can trigger a nervous system illness called Guillain-Barré syndrome. Zika is spread through mosquito bites and sex.

      #FightTheBite

      Mosquitoes spread Zika

      • Mosquitoes that spread Zika live indoors and outside. They bite both day and night.

      • Use insect repellent.

      • Wear long pants and long–sleeved shirts when you can.

      • Tip: Apply sunscreen first, then insect repellent.

      #StrongDefense

      • Zika can be spread through sex.

      • Reduce your risk. Use condoms (every time!) you have sex (any kind!) at the Olympics.

      • Keep using condoms when you get home.

      • Zika can live longer in semen than in blood.

      #TimeOut

      Wait to Get Pregnant

      • If you want to get pregnant after your trip, wait 8 weeks if you don’t have symptoms. If you DO have symptoms, wait 8 weeks after symptoms start for women, 6 months after symptoms start for men.

      #OverTime

      Don’t spread Zika after the Olympics.

      • Prevent the spread of Zika after your trip, even if you don’t feel sick.

      • Wear insect repellent for 3 weeks. Mosquitoes could bite you and spread Zika to others.

      • Use condoms for 8 weeks. Men: If you have symptoms, use condoms for 6 months

      • If your partner is already pregnant, use condoms or don’t have sex during the pregnancy.
