The United States is recommending those males who have been exposed to the Zika virus must wait at least six months before procreating.

It also asks them to consider using condoms as a protection during the period to avoid contaminating their partner, at least six months before procreating. It is the advice by American health authorities for men who had potentially been exposed to the Zika virus, which increases the risk of irreversible congenital malformations in the foetus (microcephaly).  

Women must wait at least eight weeks

Because in most cases it goes unnoticed, this advice applies regardless of whether women have shown symptoms of the infection.

Women who are looking to have a baby and who have been infected by the Zika virus must wait at least eight weeks from when the symptoms first appeared before trying to conceive.
