The sexual transmission of ZIKV has already been documented and established, but the risks of transmission are not well understood, and it is not known whether other flaviviruses can be transmitted in this way.
To fill this knowledge gap, the researchers conducted a systematic review of the data available until April 15, 2018. Counsel and his colleagues found that sexual transmission of the Zika virus is much more common in men than in women. women For sexual transmission of ZIKV, the authors found that the median interval - the delay between the onset of symptoms in 2 sexual partners - is 12 days and the average duration of persistence of ZIKV virus RNA in the sperm is a tract Female genitalia longer (34 days) (12 days).
The study findings are limited by the underlying evidence, which may have residual bias. However, the review is constructed as a living systematic review, so new tests will be integrated as soon as they are available. With regard to public health, the authors state that "our results suggest that the infectious period of sexual transmission of the ZIKV is shorter than the estimates of the initial studies after birth"
