I always knew it was the ravers. Even when they were blaming the monkeys I knew it was them
Mpox (fka Monkeypox)

Sharing whistles will do it every time.
Oh feck off WHO.
It's still only transmissible by riding, yeah?
We're all safe enough so.

Well of course it is. As soon as they said it was limited to the gay community, that was it nailed on to become a major problem. Its HIV/AIDS all over again. "Its just the gays, it won't happen to me!!!!" said every dumb cnut in the world.
"Men who have sex with men" is a well-established term for men who identify as heterosexual but occasionally have sex with men, for whatever reason. When I was working in healthcare, we had a sexual health adviser who used to visit prisons because there were many men there who fell into that category. It's complicated!
That is interesting! Thanks! my question, perhaps poorly worded, wasn’t “do we need to add ‘men who have sex with men’” so much as it was “isn’t just saying ‘men who have sex with men’ enough as it covers all the categories.” But this is the best answer so far! I had never heard that it was established as a term with that limitation

RESULTS
We report 528 infections diagnosed between April 27 and June 24, 2022, at 43 sites in 16 countries. Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men, 75% were White, and 41% had human immunodeficiency virus infection; the median age was 38 years. Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the persons with infection. In this case series, 95% of the persons presented with a rash (with 64% having <10 lesions), 73% had anogenital lesions, and 41% had mucosal lesions (with 54 having a single genital lesion). Common systemic features preceding the rash included fever (62%), lethargy (41%), myalgia (31%), and headache (27%); lymphadenopathy was also common (reported in 56%). Concomitant sexually transmitted infections were reported in 109 of 377 persons (29%) who were tested. Among the 23 persons with a clear exposure history, the median incubation period was 7 days (range, 3 to 20). Monkeypox virus DNA was detected in 29 of the 32 persons in whom seminal fluid was analyzed. Antiviral treatment was given to 5% of the persons overall, and 70 (13%) were hospitalized; the reasons for hospitalization were pain management, mostly for severe anorectal pain (21 persons); soft-tissue superinfection (18); pharyngitis limiting oral intake (5); eye lesions (2); acute kidney injury (2); myocarditis (2); and infection-control purposes (13). No deaths were reported.

The true problem at hand is not exactly a matter of gay men; it's purely about promiscuity. If people had the presence of mind to stop being promiscuous in the meantime, this mess would not have reached such level at the moment.
The CDC website is a bit of a joke when it comes to talking about how it spreads and prevention. Having unprotected gay sex is just hidden away with everything else that might cause spread of the disease.
Abstience and humans never really works though does it, even (arguably especially) if it'd be the common sense thing to do in this situation.
I really don’t care about it and I’m pretty sure 99% of the population don’t either.
There is a long way to go from promiscuity to abstinence. And limiting sexual activity to one partner under such circumstances is not asking too much.
Someone has died in Brazil and another in Spain. First monkeypox deaths outside of Africa.

Also an interesting map that highlights the unusual geographical spread of this outbreak compared to previous.

Unfortunately it clearly is if we’re getting a spread surely?
The WHO is holding a consultation into renaming monkeypox and anyone can put suggestions forward.

"12 days after symptom onset, their male Italian greyhound, aged 4 years and with no previous medical disorders, presented with mucocutaneous lesions, including abdomen pustules and a thin anal ulceration."
"The men reported co-sleeping with their dog."
Poor dog.

Bum AIDS
Stuff like that is what make people believe that the WHO are a waste of money. Why are those guys paid for if not to do that stuff themselves?
So the dog that contracted it from a human had legions around its anus..
