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.

“So it’s another gay disease that they’ll pretend is not.”

In the beginning Fauxi pretended HIV wasn’t a gay disease.

He even never closed bath-houses.
