Anybody have any ideas how a Zika mosquito came to the US? For example, I go to a country that has the Zika’s and I get bit, get the virus, and then come back to the US. A mosquito (not infected) then bites me, does that mosquito get the virus from me? If so, then same thing can happen with any infected person coming from a Zika country? This could be scary for the entire country.

Way back when I was being educated on HIV/AIDS the instructor told us [the class] that one could not get HIV/AIDS from being bitten by a mosquito that had bitten an individual infected with the AIDS virus. Nut now they say one can get the Zika virus by bitten by a mosquito.
