James M, 35, has become the first British monkeypox patient to go public
The first British monkeypox patient to go public is an HR manager from London who caught the virus after being deported from Dubai for testing positive for HIV, MailOnline can reveal.
James M, 35, has spoken out after claiming that health chiefs still haven't contacted him despite being diagnosed with monkeypox nearly a fortnight ago.
He slammed the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for 'a real lack of any basic process or care to stop the spread' of the tropical virus, which has so far infected more than 300 Britons, mostly gay and bisexual men.
James — who wished to keep his surname anonymous — admitted he is not following self-isolation rules because 'I was told to stay home until UKHSA contacted me... and they never did.'
He accused the UK of having a lackadaisical approach to contact tracing, saying it was 'no wonder' Britain had more cases than any other country outside of Africa. There is also a lack of awareness about monkeypox's lesser-known symptoms, he claimed.
James was readjusting to life in west London when he began suffering from 'really weird aches' in his lower back, exhaustion, extreme thirst and pain when he used the toilet.

He became convinced he had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) after sleeping with around 10 new partners in the weeks before his symptoms started.
‘I’m a gay man, and having just come back to the UK, I was having a good time,’ he told MailOnline.
But medics wrongly assumed it wasn’t monkeypox because he didn’t have the virus’ tell-tale rash.
James had just returned from Dubai, where being gay is illegal, after four years following a ‘shock’ HIV diagnosis in February. It saw him lose his job and home.
After contacting his local STI clinic in west London, James was sent for tests at a specialist centre in Soho on May 25 and was told to avoid public transport or close contact with others.
‘When I got to the clinic I was told to go and wait outside the main door and call them, they said they were going to put on PPE and they told me not to touch door handles,’ he said.
‘The whole experience kind of heightens your sense of, “oh this must be really serious”. I remember going to Covid centres and it wasn’t as daunting or overwhelming as this.’
At the time, several dozen people had already been diagnosed with the mystery monkeypox virus and it was clear the virus was spreading in London among gay and bisexual men.
You mean sticking your junk is the rectum of another promiscuous homosexual is risky??? Whoulda thunk it.

Now please don’t tell anybody I said this....
...but doesn’t it seem like homosexuals tend to be susceptable to more diseases?
HIV and now this monkey virus thing?
Just a thought as I read about Homos getting this monkey virus. What’s that all about?
‘I’m a gay man, and having just come back to the UK, I was having a good time,’

It’s all fun and games until someone gets monkeypox, or HIV, or.....
I wonder if the pox will slow him down.
His Father must be so proud. /s
Anyone shocked it’s an Human Resource manger who had 10 sexual partners in the weeks before that ends up with a monkey disease?
“He slammed the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for ‘a real lack of any basic process or care to stop the spread’ of the tropical virus”
Here’s the process: stop having sex with other men.
So he promiscuously slept around and wound up with monkeypox and he’s going to whine about it to the UK Health Minister? How about not engaging in a degenerate lifestyle instead? Another group that always wants to play the victim.
Yeah, that PCR test sure is great at diagnosing disease!
I have heard it theorized that this is a planned coverup for the rash (pun intended) of shingles and Kaposi’s sarcoma that the jabs is bringing out in those who now (or before, such as with gay men who are HIV positive) have a compromised immune system—whether or not some type of lab-modified pox virus is being sprinkled throughout as well.
Why if he just wore a face mask he would have been protected. (Sarcasm)
And the rest are in closet?
It’s not the UKHSA’s fault that he indulged in promiscuity. I’m skeptical that they actually didn’t try to contact him; it’s not that difficult to make oneself scarce. And, if they didn’t contact them, has he tried to contact them?
Not taking personal responsibility and blaming others. He’s supposed to be an adult!
You might be right. A close friend was just involved in testing a patient with what they thought for sure was Monkeypox but it came back definitely negative.
Something's going on and it's not just Monkeypox.
“thinks he caught virus from one of 10 sexual partners in the weeks before his symptoms”
“deported from Dubai for testing positive for HIV,”
“He accused the UK of having a lackadaisical approach”
Unreal he is out there having multiple sexual partners while HIV positive. Who is really lackadaisical in life?
Must wonder how many of those sex partners knew he had AIDS.
Even worse, you know how they caught if from the poor monkey. 😳🙊🙉🙈☠️
Well there’s a headline you don’t see everyday. SMH
When will the Pride marches start in Dubai?
