โAs a physician, I emphasize that a positive Zika RNA result requires immediate clinical correlation with symptoms, travel history, and pregnancy status. This test is a powerful tool, but results must be interpreted in the full clinical context. Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.โ
