Sperm Donations May Contain Zika Virus in Florida

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned that sperm donations from Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward counties may contain Zika virus. They recommend that would-be parents consider this risk if using samples from these three counties.

There has been a risk for Zika transmission in this area since June 2016, and thus the sperm samples in 12 sperm banks in these areas may be affected. Zika may survive in sperm for six months. So far there is no proof that infected sperm donations can give Zika virus to a woman, but the CDC advises to proceed with caution. The FDA, which regulates sperm donations, recommends that sperm banks shouldn't accept donations from men with the virus or those who have been in areas where the virus is prevalent.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
