Well, now it is being transmitted by sexual contact
The first person in Dallas County has been infected with the Zika virus without traveling outside the U.S., becoming the first person to acquire the virus in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The patient was infected through sexual contact, not through a mosquito bite, according to county health officials.
Dallas County Health and Human Services said the patient was infected after having sexual contact with an individual who developed symptoms after returning from a trip to Venezuela. It has also been confirmed that the individual from Venezuela is also infected with the virus.

This morning the report was it would be a minimum of 3 years before there is a vaccination for this. I can't even imagine how much this will spread in a few years. A real mess!
