Quote- "In a press release, the CDC identified the risk of Zika transmission as beginning on June 15, 2016 for the three counties [Florida], meaning that sperm samples across the areas’ 12 sperm banks could be compromised.
Previously, the CDC had thought only sperm collected from Miami-Dade County might contain the virus."

Quote- "Scientists believe that Zika can survive in sperm for six months, after an Italian man donated a sample for analysis in August 2016, the BBC reported.
Researchers found the virus was still in the man’s sperm, half a year after he first reported symptoms.
If Zika infects a fetus, scientists believe it causes microcephaly—where the baby is born with a small head, signifying abnormal brain development."
