One of the 229 people diagnosed with mpox in Ireland during the recent outbreak had 75 different sexual partners in the 21 days before they developed symptoms of the disease, a new study has revealed.
The review of cases also found that 96.5 per cent of confirmed infections had been sexually transmitted. All but three of the infected patients were men, and 98.6 per cent identified as gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men (gbMSM).
The youngest patient was 16 and the oldest was 68, and more than one in four (28.3 per cent) were HIV positive, according to a new study conducted by experts with the HSE and Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HSPC).

Nearly half of the confirmed cases (46.8 per cent) involved patients who had been born in Ireland, while one in three were from Latin America, and just over 13 per cent were from elsewhere in Europe.
The paper examined monkeypox cases and the response in Ireland between May 2022 and May 2023. Monkeypox was renamed mpox by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in November 2022.
It was made a notifiable infectious disease on May 27, 2022, and a total of 229 confirmed cases were recorded in the country over the following 12-month period. Infections peaked in August 2022 and then rapidly declined.
Mpox, which is naturally found in some Central and West African countries, is characterised by a painful rash or mucosal lesions. It is spread through close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets, or contaminated materials such as bedding.
Most cases are mild, and only 20 of the infections reported in Ireland resulted in admission to hospital. No deaths occurred.
Reviewing the country’s response to the outbreak, the authors of the study noted that public health authorities undertook contact tracing and risk assessment for close contacts, developing a national database.
On May 27, 2022, the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) recommended that a modified smallpox vaccine be offered to high- and intermediate-risk contacts as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). By the end of May 2023, a total of 5,214 people had been fully vaccinated.
The study, which was published in the latest issue of the Irish Medical Journal, was partly attributable to effective risk communication, community engagement, as well as both natural and vaccine-related immunity.
While cases were generally mild in Ireland, “mpox had a substantial impact on those infected due to direct physical effects such as severe pain and the indirect mental and social effects of prolonged isolation”, the authors said.
They warned that travel-related cases of mpox remain a threat and recommended that all countries maintain testing capabilities and continue to act promptly “when needed”.
Human petri dishes. Yuck.
Rent boys gonna rent...
There is a term "bug-chasers" that has been used since the late 1980s or early 1990s that describes homosexuals who do everything they can to catch AIDS. These people are sick in the head.
Not with fagots, they are the most promiscuous and perverse creatures on Earth, just think back top all the gay bathhouses and how they led to the explosion of HIV. 🤔 That reminds me, that’s another pandemic that Fraud I totally cocked up!
Nobody ever wants to talk about the reality of LGBT behavior. Sexual promiscuity is rampant, same with drug use. Books have been written about the quiet ‘lifestyle’.
I read a report on ‘gay marriage monogamy’ in the SF Bay area, 100% of the ‘couples’ said they’ve since had other partners outside the ‘marriage’.
Women initiate divorce more than men. So let’s talk about the ‘divorce’ rate of lesbian ‘marriages’.
NONE of the data is ‘normal’.
The fact that Monkey Pox created a panic in a single demographic, gay men, tells you everything.
Correct. In a heterosexual relationship, I think women initiate divorce around 70% of the time.
Now what's the data on gay and lesbian relationships? Maybe gay couples are more likely to stick together compared to lesbian couples?
So it’s “mpox” now instead of “monkeypox”? Why?
About a 75% divorce rate!

You can hardly tell the government is involved. This guy alone is 33% of the "epidemic"...
75 means gay, prostitute or both.
That’s probably the best argument against lesbians adopting children or using surrogates to birth a baby. They’ll just break up in a year or two.
Well, one indicates the presence of an infection, whereas the other indicates the presence of a disease. Diseases are the more serious of the two.
From the article:
“The youngest patient was 16 and the oldest was 68,...”
They probably hate themselves, and they are likely in extremely small numbers that probably are in single-digit percentage. But there are many that more that are just careless and believe themselves to be immune. The one that fall into category believes it only happens to others, but not me.
They know if they play with fire, they’ll get burned. I can’t muster up any concern for them.
one of wilt chamberlain’s son ?
My idea was to create a massive AIDS hospital in the Artic Ice Cap.
Those are the lyrics of Mbop that have been slightly adapted.
S8tan’s pox.
