EXCLUSIVE: James M has spoken out after claiming he's still not been contacted despite testing fortnight ago HR manager, 35, suffered 'really weird aches' in his lower back, exhaustion, extreme thirst and bladder pain

Thinks he caught virus from one of 10 sexual partners in the weeks before his symptoms started UK Health Security Agency officials claim they have tried and failed to get in touch with James

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.

Yes, the pox part of chickenpox, plus animal name, is confusing! Cowpox, monkeypox, chickenpox!

Say what you will, but the Middle East is right on this issue!
Yeah, but for the wrong reasons...

Yeah and he knows that he’s HIV positive, but he just keeps spreading his disease.

“...from one of 10 sexual partners in the weeks before.... officials claim they have tried and failed to get in touch with James.”

Yeah - if I was an official I would claim the same thing. (Okay - I guess mailing a letter to him would be safe enough.)

As to why it’s spreading among gays now.

Gay super spreader events:

There was also a huge gay Fetish Festival in Antwerp about the same time that was linked to cases. There is a highly promiscuous segment of the gay population, members of which flit from one of these events to another, then to the big orgy at the gay sauna upon arriving back home.

Just one guy who picked it up in West Africa could have spread it to tens of guys at the Gran Canaria Gay Pride rave, given the er, activities at these events. Just one of these who then flitted off to the Antwerp rave could have infected tens more, and we know a Spaniard returned from Gran Canaria and then attended a large orgy at a gay sauna and infected at least nine others.

They probably posted the alert because it’s Gay Pride Month. Lots of gay guys jetting off to super spreader events:

I think if were seated next to a gay guy flying back from Ibiza on June 18, I would don a mask and get out my hand sanitizer 😮

They probably removed it because the real reason is politically incorrect, and universal mask wearing is not needed at all. There’s just increased travel risks associated with these events right now.
