Preconception Counseling

This guide describes recommendations for counseling women and men living in areas with Zika who want to become pregnant and have not experienced clinical illness consistent with Zika virus disease. This material includes recommendations from CDC’s updated guidance, key questions to ask patients, and sample scripts for discussing recommendations and preconception issues. Because a lot of content is outlined for discussion, questions are included throughout the sample script to make sure patients understand what they are being told.
