Routine Testing Not Recommended
NOTE: • Asymptomatic pregnant women with recent possible Zika virus exposure (i.e. through travel or sexual exposure) who do not have ongoing exposure are not routinely recommended to have Zika virus testing. Testing should be considered using a decision-making model, one in which patients and providers work together to make decisions about testing and care plans based on a balanced assessment of risks and expected outcomes, clinical judgement, patient preferences and values, and the jurisdiction’s recommendations. • Healthcare providers should review their local and state health jurisdiction guidelines regarding testing of patients with clinically compatible illness without known travel or sexual exposures. • Find full testing algorithms and details on which tests to order at https://www.cdc.gov/zika/hc-providers/testing-guidance.html.
CDC does not recommend Zika virus testing for asymptomatic • Men • Children • Women who are not pregnant CS268732A
