U.K. health authorities have urged anyone who tests positive for the monkeypox virus to abstain from sex until their symptoms have cleared.
In new guidance released Monday, the U.K. Health Security Agency also recommended that previously infected persons continue to use condoms for a period of eight weeks after the virus has passed, as a precautionary measure.
The health agency said the risks to the general public remain low, but encouraged people to contact a health professional if they notice any unusual rashes or lesions.
The advice comes after Britain recorded an additional 71 cases of the virus over the weekend, bringing the U.K. total to 179 less than a month after its first case was on May 7.
The U.K. now has the highest monkeypox case count among nonendemic countries, followed by Spain with 120 and Portugal with 96.
As of Monday, there were 555 confirmed and suspected cases of monkeypox in countries outside of Africa, according to Our World in Data.
Monkeypox is a rare infectious disease typically found in Central and West African countries. Symptoms include rashes, fever, headaches, muscle ache, swelling and backpain.
While the virus is generally mild, usually clearing up on its own within two to four weeks, health experts have voiced concern over the recent spike in cases in countries where monkeypox does not usually spread, and the growing risks of community transmission.
The majority of cases so far have been spread through sex, with a particular concentration of cases occurring within the gay and bisexual communities and men who have sex with men, according to the World Health Organization.

Remember those commercials back in the ‘90s, on every sort of media of the time, telling the population that “anyone can get AIDS, anyone of any age and of any lifestyle” ?
” Fauci Was Funding Research into Potential Monkeypox Cures”
Wow, Fauci cares about cures. What a great guy! /s
But of course gays can still donate blood.
Is that you, Gary Johnson?
They need the government to tell them this? Oh man.
brit’s need to be told this???
Remember what Archie Bunker said about England.
I don't get it. I never thought bumps and ridges were sexy either.
"community transmission"
It takes a plague like this to get liberals to concede that abstinence works and is possible.
If children should be taught anything in school about their sexuality, it should be the horrific consequences of sexually transmitted diseases and how abstinence is the only guaranteed method to avoid them. Share the benefits of lifelong, monogamous, heterosexual marriage for them, their future children, and society.
They stick their d*cks in each other’s assh*les.
You think another little STD is gonna stop ‘em?
Especially homo monkeys
Truth in advertising = Homo Pox
June is “Pride” month and the faggotry will be “pushed hard” on social media platforms.

Just say no to monkey sex. Or monkey-like sex.
Lockdown monkey homos.
