I got monkeypox and it’s been a total nightmare.
When New York Pride festivities kicked off on 24 June, I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men – but I was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small. What I didn’t understand was how absolutely dismal testing capacity was: at that point, the city only had capacity to process ten tests a day.
I had sex with several guys over the weekend. Then a week later, on 1 July, I started feeling very fatigued. I had a high fever with chills and muscle aches, and my lymph nodes were so swollen they were protruding two inches out of my throat.
First, I took a Covid self-test: negative. Then I started suspecting monkeypox. I texted a friend: I’m just sitting here waiting for the rash to start.
I’m a 39-year-old man from Sweden, living in Brooklyn and working in philanthropy. For the past decade, my work has primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights, so I followed the outbreak from the very beginning. I had even tried to get vaccinated when New York City launched an initial vaccination drive on 23 June. But like the vast majority of other New Yorkers who tried to get an appointment, I had no luck.
Two days after my symptoms began, the rash started as anorectal lesions – painful sores on my anus and rectum. Initially it was a stinging, itchy feeling. I wasn’t scared at this point. I was told that it would be mild, and I was a completely healthy individual with no underlying conditions. But I had no idea how bad it was going to get.

In some areas the average is more like 1000 hookups/partners a year.
....do the time.
They're going to try to shut down the schools over this.
But will say nothing about gay orgies.
Well, aids did not get them all I guess.
Well said.
Somebody went bare back....with at least three dudes over one weekend. Anyone else see problems with this?
So was he “Scared Straight?”
I saw it referred to as “homopox”.
Sounds appropriate. AIDS 2.O.
Sadly, he doesn’t and never will.
All well and ready to to go at it again...
This guy is a walking sore of STD pus.
Ironically, the only place I didn’t have lesions was my penis.
Sick.
Sounds like the homersexual pain in the arse finally felt like a pain in the arse.
Soon, he’ll have to recruit and pay vulnerable young men and boys.
“Yep changes occur all the time. Just look at this country from 1492 until the present day. Columbus sailed the ocean blue and today we have throngs marching/demonstrating in the streets for their favorite thing. Life goes on but it certainly has changed.”
Yep. Next year it will be an article about the joys of having sex with children and then the next year animals. But, life goes on and things change. No big deal I guess.
Boo hoo.
Pain from monkeypox will be the least of your concerns for eternity.
Thr man of lawlessness Is rapidly gaining strenth..strength... the left have successfully destroyed common sense by declaring that anyone can be any gender they want and everyone must honor their mentally ill choices, they are more and more legalizing all ,ones of drugs across the nation (while bizarrely going after e-ciggs and meat eating), they are pushing their abominations actions on children all across the nation, and at the same time trying to tell parents they have no right to object, and of course they are flooding this nation with illegals, many of which are violent criminals, and at the same time defunding the police while disarming citizens
Al.l these and many more perverse acts by the left are designed to destroy morality, common sense, and decency In This country I order for the demon driven socialism tk tske over
The left are even desecration temples and churches now openly and boldly now- jusy a matter of time before the whole man of lawlessness is loosed upon the world and the antichrist sets up his throne in the temple of God.
I wish they would accurately describe how transmission occurs. It’s not “sex “ between 2 men. That isn’t possible. It’s called sodemy.
monkeypox man sez: “I had sex with several guys over the weekend. “
a line one would expect to see published only by the likes of the babylon bee ...
A CDC study on gay men several years ago found that the AVERAGE number of different sexual partners per year was 56.
Personally, I don’t care how many times gay people have sex with casual partners, but the fact remains that we’ve seen this scenario before with HIV—and the entire nation had to deal with it financially and mentally if not physically.
