If you aren't pregnant or don't have plans to get pregnant you will be fine because the virus has time to exit the system. Men actually need to be more careful because the virus can remain until the sperm for 9ish months.
Zika virus , not pregnant
I'm only 18, my family planned a last minute trip to Dominican Republic because they have to handle some business ASAP. They weren't going to bring me with but they feel bad because I'm a good student and am always working so they thought I could use a vacation. I have never been sexually active and I'm not planning too therefore no risk or pregnancy. I know the Zika virus is found in Dominican Republic. I'm kind of a little scared to go because of this ? Is this deadly? Should I tell them to cancel my flight and not risk it ? I've been to the country before and got eaten alive by mosquitos but never caught chikguyen or degue fever.

Well the CDC said to carry bug repellent The CDC emphasizes that avoiding mosquito bites requires multiple strategies, such as wearing long-sleeved pants and shirts when outdoors. But it says that mosquito repellents are essential, too.
