A gay porn star has shared photographs of how his moneypox symptoms developed over a month, graduating from small bumps he thought were razor burn to huge blisters that could leave him scarred.

Silver Steele, of Houston, Texas, started getting monkeypox symptoms around July 11, when small pimple-like white spots started appearing around his mouth.

Over the course of three weeks, Steele saw the spots develop into painful red blisters before they eventually scabbed over and started healing.

He said he was posting the montage of his symptom development 'not to gross anyone out, but to educate'.

'This is really hard to look at,' he said in a July 25 video he posted to his social media. 'I'm just asking everyone to be a little compassionate and to understand that if its hard to look out, imagine what it's like to have.'

'Not everyone displays symptoms the exact same way, but I’ve been told by more than one professional that my case is a "clinically perfect" example,' he said on Instagram on August 4.

It comes as America's monkeypox cases hit 12,689 today, with another 800 recorded over the last 24 hours. Globally, more than 38,000 cases have been detected in 93 countries — with the vast majority of nations having never previously reported the virus.

HIV causes accelerated aging of 14 years, plus many illnesses, like cancers. HIV-accelerated aging even happens to those taking antiretrovirals. Another little side effect.
