Utah Zika Case Shows Physical Contact Can Spread The Virus
The man's only contact with someone who had Zika was a hospital visit to see a 73-year-old friend with the virus ― a visit that occurred seven to 10 days before the younger man's symptoms began.Without wearing gloves, he had helped a nurse re-position his friend and had wiped the man's eyes.That was it: There was no other contact with blood or other bodily fluids.

Fatal Zika Virus Infection with Secondary Nonsexual Transmission — NEJM
To the Editor:Epidemic transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) has rapidly occurred in the Americas, with most cases limited to mild or asymptomatic disease.1,2 To date, nine deaths from ZIKV infection that were unrelated to the Guillain–Barré syndrome have been confirmed in adults.1 Here, we report a rapidly progressive, fatal ZIKV infection acquired outside the United States and secondary local transmission in the absence of known risk factors for ZIKV infection.Patient 1, a 73-year-old man who had emigrated to the United States from Mexico in 2003, was admitted to a hospital in Salt Lake City with hypotension and abdominal pain.Radiation therapy for stage IIB prostate cancer had been completed 1 month earlier, and he was receiving antiandrogen therapy but was otherwise not systemically immunocompromised.
