State-level strategies for increasing access to the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive methods and related services can reduce unintended pregnancies among women, including women who might be exposed to Zika virus.
CDC supports states in 1) implementing vector control strategies; 2) identifying, diagnosing, and clinically managing infection and exposure among pregnant women; and 3) increasing information about effective contraception to avoid unintended pregnancy (15).
Prevention efforts for all women and men of reproductive age include targeted education about Zika virus and its transmission, condom use to avoid sexual transmission to pregnant women, and contraceptive counseling for women who want to delay or avoid pregnancy (15). Because contraception is the primary means to prevent unintended pregnancy for women at risk for Zika virus infection, sexually active nonpregnant women of reproductive age and their sex partners need to have access to all approved contraceptive methods, and these methods need to be readily available and accessible.
