If Zika is transmitted sexually between rear admirals it won't be long until we have an epidemic.

The truth is ugly, but we have to face it if we want to know the enemy.

No, we aren't allowed to talk about it.

On Wednesday, U.S. health officials said that there is no longer a doubt that the Zika virus causes severe birth defects. Well, at least homos don't have babies.

I wonder if Zika affect the immune-compromised more than the general population. The chance of being exposed to it is exactly the same. However, they would be more likely to develop a clinical disease, and the disease would be more serious, both due to the deficiencies in the immune system.

Dilbert San Diego :" Are we allowed to talk about this virus spreading through homosexual sex???"
This medical issue points to the possibility of the virus being transmitted via homosexual as well as heterosexual bodily fluids transmitting the virus.
We learned just two years ago that another virus ( Ebola) could similarly be transmitted by the sexual act, with an exchange of bodily fluids,
and that the Ebola virus was transmissible for up to six months, having successfully remained in the sexual gonads for that length of time .
I use the term "possibility" as it also possible that one contracted Zika via mosquito, and his companion might have also been bitten by the same mosquito .
While it is technically possible for this transmission to have happened this way, it is unlikely.
So little is known about Zika that I don't know whether Zika remains in the gonads has even yet been explored, as had been learned with the Ebola virus .
There is so much more to be learned about Zika .

Mouton :" He cautioned his comment was between us due to his protocols aka PC overlords. He added the official line is equally for everyone. "
In the most recent CDC release , they stated that as many as 30 States could be susceptible to the mosquito that carries Zika virus .
The Southern States are most at risk for the mosquito which carries Zika ; however, other States have travelers who have been in affected areas .

I’m sure that now that gays are swapping Zika the 0bammy administration will throw the entire GNP towards finding a cure.

Dunno. It’s a tossup whether he’s willing to trade a few sick gays for more natural born democrat voters.
