Zika Virus Testing for Any Pregnant Woman Not Living in an Area With Zika

If you test positive for Zika

A positive test result might cause concerns, but it doesn’t mean your baby will have birth defects.
For Parents: A Positive Zika Virus Test: What does it mean for my child?
For Pregnant Women: A Positive Zika Virus Test: What does it mean for me?

If you test positive for Zika and live in the U.S.

To understand more about Zika virus infection, CDC established the US Zika Pregnancy Registry and is collaborating with state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments to collect information about pregnancy and infant outcomes following laboratory evidence of Zika virus.
