MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (WNCT) – A Carteret County resident tested positive for Zika in October according to Donna Faiella, Carteret County Health Department communicable diseases nurse, who made the announcement Monday. The Carteret County Health Department has tested 17 people for Zika since January 2017. It is the first reported case in Carteret County. The Carteret County Health Department will do free tests if a person has traveled to a Zika zone within the past 12 weeks and is pregnant or has symptoms. Zika is not in the county locally.
Dr. Norins recommends a research push in Miami in summer to trap Zika mosquitoes that may have fed on HIV-positive patients, plus laboratory experiments using Zika mosquitoes and HIV. Dr. Norins, who trained as a physician-scientist, has been a medical publisher for 40 years. Official doctrine asserts that mosquito transmission of HIV doesn't happen, says Dr. Norins. The second study, in 1989, was a laboratory one, using mosquitoes under artificial conditions. An epidemic of 93 AIDS cases there caused national alarm when mosquitoes were mentioned as possible transmitters.
