That's right it is now known that is can be transmitted by having sex with someone who is infected with the Zika virus.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/15/new-york-first-documented-zika-sex-case

A New York City woman infected her male partner with the Zika virus through sex, the first time female-to-male transmission of the germ has been documented.

Seven days after they had sex, her male partner developed similar symptoms. Two days later, he went to the same doctor. The doctor tested him even though he hadn’t traveled from a Zika outbreak area and no cases of female-to-male transmission had been reported. He tested positive for zika.
