Hi,

As of now, there are no treatment for Zika (https://www.cdc.gov/zika/symptoms/treatment.html   you can read more by using the tab toward the left side). The most physician can do is treat the symptoms. Depends on what sources you're looking at, the chance of a pregnant woman infected with zika giving birth to a baby that is affected by the virus ranges from 1-15 percent depending on when the woman contracted the virus.

Hope this helps

Without pregnant, once woman get Zika, and identify this infected virus.  Would she be better not get birth at the first place in future until Zika is cured first.

Do you have any suggestions?

If the woman is not pregnant, we would not have a problem. You can follow the guidelines here https://www.cdc.gov/zika/pregnancy/women-and-their-partners.html  
Zika only dangerous if the woman is pregnant. The symptoms of Zika for adult female are mild and the immune system is ableto fight off Zika. However, Zika is harmful for fetus and could cause microcephaly and other birth defect. If a woman think she have Zika, she should test for it considering about pregnancy https://www.cdc.gov/zika/laboratories/types-of-tests.html

Zika virus is not as bad as the world makes it seem. West Nile is still the worse virus out there.
