Dr. John T. Brooks, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studying sexual transmission of the Zika virus, said he was not particularly surprised to see transmission that was probably by oral sex.
Transmission through kissing is unlikely, Dr. Brooks said.
Casual kissing has got to be safe because, if it werent, dont you think wed see a lot more Zika? Every mom who kissed her baby would pass it on, he said. To be sure, wed have to look for deep kissing in the absence of sexual contact, and thats hard to find. (more information available at the source)
We have so much more to learn about the Zika virus and its method of transmission.

Is ZIKA the new AIDS virus?

GALAHAD: Look, I'm a knight, I'm supposed to get as much peril as I can.
GALAHAD: Well, let me have just a little bit of peril?
LAUNCELOT: No, it's unhealthy.

Nothing a little DDT couldn’t fix.
Cannot use it?

Transmitted from BJs? So, if Obama became infected with Zika, think of the exposure to MSM journalists.

This should be interesting, considering half (at least) of the Olympics athletes are sodomites of one ilk or another.

How long does Zika remain in the system?
Is it chronic and subject to unpredictable flare-ups, like herpes?
If so, given its predilection for fetal neuronal tissue, it might lead to a slew of microcephalic babies down the road...

Yep, it's just another day at the drive-thru window of life here in these no longer interesting times.

Length of duration of Zika infection is yet unknown.
SO is the question of whether it remains chronic is also unknown. I would expect that virologists are looking into this matter right now.
The "fetal neuronal tissue, it might lead to a slew of microcephalic babies down the road..." could present a national financial disaster.
Zika has been known to exist for quite some time in Africa, and elsewhere without microcephalic babies
The fact that microcephalic babies have occurred only in the Brazilian Zika infestation, and not in the adjoining country of Columbia suggests a variant genetic aberration.
Viri are known to be genetically simplistic RNA, and are subject to mutation, and become less virulent as they age and continue to mutate.
It may be that Microcephalic babies could be limited to the Brazilian variant since Zika has not produced these symptoms in the past.

The baby's mother is a Honduran national immigrant
who visited Honduras during her last trimester .
The whole issue of "anchor babies" is an issue that needs to be addressed in the next Congress.
