8. This is what the CDC says

Incubation period for Zika virus disease is 3–14 days.
Zika viremia ranges from a few days to 1 week.
Virus remains in semen longer than in blood.

CDC recommends Zika virus testing for symptomatic people living in an active Zika transmission area, or who have recently traveled to an area with Zika, or who have had unprotected sex with a man confirmed to have Zika virus infection.

Testing blood, semen, or urine is not recommended to determine how likely a man is to pass Zika virus through sex. This is because there is still a lot we don’t know about the virus and how to interpret test results. (emphasis mine)

Available tests may not accurately identify the presence of Zika or a man’s risk of passing it on through sex. As we learn more and as tests improve, these tests may become more helpful for determining a man’s risk of passing Zika through sex.
