[MCOH-EH] zika testing when zika researcher had possible exposure off work

[Gochnour, Michelle K.]

All,
Wondering if you do any baseline testing for zika researchers who may travel to areas and have personal exposure ( mosquito bite) in zika at risk areas?  Researcher has no symptoms, but wondered if we wanted to be able to differentiate between possible exposure outside the laboratory.  We do not, but I wondered if others do, and if yes, how you differentiate between possible lab exposure prior to personal exposure, etc. Thoughts?

Thanks!
Michelle
