CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said some patients with monkeypox also had syphilis, herpes, gonorrhea or chlamydia infections. The rash that characterizes monkeypox can resemble herpes or syphilis,
The U.S. has confirmed 45 monkeypox cases across 15 states and Washington D.C. as of Thursday, according to the CDC. No deaths have been reported. The current outbreak is unusual because the virus is spreading outside West and Central Africa, where the disease has been present for decades. More than 1,300 cases have been reported globally across 31 countries, according to the CDC.
Moneypox normally begins with symptoms similar to the flu, including fever, headache, muscle aches, chills, exhaustion and swollen lymph nodes. The disease then progresses to a painful rash that can spread all over the body. Most patients recover in two to four weeks without specific medical treatment, according to the CDC.
However, some patients during the current outbreak have developed a rash only on the genitals or anus before they experience any flulike symptoms, Walensky said. In some cases, patients developed a rash without any symptoms similar to the flu, she said. In many cases, the localized rash has not spread to other parts of the body or only to a few areas, the CDC director said.
People diagnosed with moneypox during the current outbreak have reported close physical contact with other people infected with the virus, Walensky said. The virus can spread through direct contact with sores, bodily fluids or materials such as clothes or bedsheets.

Ya don’t say.
Are they saying in a roundabout way, that homophobic is preventive medicine?
Ya don’t say!?
Amazing that the media isn’t reporting the truth on who is spreading this disease, isn’t it?
That’s all right - GEICO will pay for it...
I am not surprised. They are probably proud of their STDs.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure. /s
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can’t take any more
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey!
So it’s another gay disease that they’ll pretend is not.
Pretty sure it means all of us will pay for it one way or another. If not monetarily, then through the destruction of our society in numerous other ways.
In some cases in the very beginning of an emerging virus it might be wise to do contact tracing and limited quarentine.
Well ,if that don’t beat FA.
